WELCOME BACK!!!

It's great to be back after a long maternity leave and wonderful summer! I would like to welcome all the new students and families to WES. We have a great year planned with awesome music-making.

To start the year, all grades will participate in the WES Olympics. In all related arts classes, the students will be competing in events, creating flags, researching about all things Olympic. Specifically in music, we will  participate in music-themed events, compare and contrast different National Anthems, and talk about the role music played in the opening and closing ceremonies.

For 5th and 6th grade students, choir begins in a couple weeks. I will be posting specific information about our annual spring musical including performance dates and auditions.

Please email me with any questions or concerns. Here's to a great school year!

Welcome back from our winter break! We have some wonderful music to explore in the next few months before I go on maternity leave.

The students will have a chance to meet my maternity leave substitute teacher sometime in February. She is very excited to work with such a great community as WES.

5th & 6th graders - We will be wrapping up our jazz unit with a computer lab project.

4th graders- We will begin a recorder karate program, which will teach treble clef note names and reinforce some of our fundamentals of music theory.

3rd & 2nd graders - We will continue our composers and instrument family study.

1st & Kind. - Through exploration of movement and music, we will learn more about the building blocks of music.
