Students will be asked why they chose a particular sound for the action being displayed and show that they can keep the beat.Class Experience
We will start with an interactive introduction from everyone, so that I can get acquainted with the students before the lesson. Materials that will be used in class include a cartoon clip of Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf and a song called "The Steady Beat Song". The discussion will be based on the instruments that the students hear, and the music groups that they belong to. We will also talk about why the instruments were chosen for each character. After, we will work on steady beats using body movements such as clapping, stopping, jumping, etc. I will ask the students to choose an action based on what they hear/see, and to create that action along to the beat of The Steady Beat Song. This class is great for any child in this age group, and even moreso for children that have a newfound interest in musical instruments or has a hard time with rhythm
Learning Goals
Students will be able to recognize various instrument groups, as well as individual instruments. They will also be able to keep a steady beat

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Simone Monroe, and I am very excited to connect with your child through music.
I received my Bachelor of Music degree in Music Performance as a clarinetist, and my Master's degree in Clarinet Performance at the University of Miami's Frost School of Music. Although my degree consisted largely of performance, I have spent a lot of time also learning to be an exceptional music educator. I have 7 years of teaching experience for all ages in both private (clarinet and flute lessons) and class (general music) settings.
On this platform I will be engaging with students through private clarinet lessons, general music and arts activities, as well as classes that introduce young learners to movement and dance.
MY PHILOSOPHY: Music should be taught because it allows one to learn discipline and commitment. It has the ability to change lives and teach various life skills needed for a well-rounded individual. Because music is a medium that everyone can relate to, it is something that is already appreciated before a person even comes into the sphere of learning it. It will be my responsibility to enhance and facilitate the guided growth that takes place in an individual’s newfound experience with it.
Because music is so universal, it is also important that the music educator sheds light on the importance of other cultures and their contributions to what the art of music is today. Students will gain more of an understanding/appreciation of other individuals not themselves, and will be made more aware of the world around them.
Outside of teaching and playing music, I have many interests that include traveling, salsa dancing, all things food, and outside adventures!
Thank you for joining me, and I look forward to making music with you!Reviews
