Students will improve their listening skills as they attend to specific musical elements in each lesson. Students will identify by sight and sound the instruments of the string family in the orchestra. Students will develop their own creative gifts through playing their own instrument and everyday objects around them in their own rhythmic performances and write and illustrate their own book based on several music selections.
I've taught music for all my adult life. For the past 25 years, I taught general music Pre-K through a combination 5th/6th grade class in a local elementary school. Parents who did not have the opportunity to take music class when in elementary school, often came to my class to sit in and listen, including several marines from our local marine corps air station. Join us!
