WELCOME BACK!!!

Welcome back to a new school year! It's going to be a great year of music making. Please take time to check out the music links on this page. There are some fun, interactive websites for students to practice their music reading skills. I will be posting information about upcoming performances for the 5th & 6th grade choir as well as a mini-musical for the 2nd grade in the spring.

Please contact me via email swilson@worthington.k12.oh.us if you have any questions about the music program at WES!

CINDERELLA

This is a little late - but better late than never! A HUGE congrats to both casts of Cinderella. Both 5th & 6th grade groups did a terrific job. Bravo!!

DANCE MARATHON!!

The students completed a 5 week dance unit with Mrs. Cicero and myself. We learned dance moves from several different decades and dance routines of various musical styles. The students enjoyed a dance marathon which featured a disco ball in the gym! They did an impressive job!

3rd Grade Spring Musical

The 3rd grade will be performing a spring musical on Wednesday, May 15th at 7pm. Please mark your calendars now. Our theme is colors and we will sing songs featuring all the colors of the rainbow. Students will have special acting, dancing, and singing roles. We will also perform during the day for the school.

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.
