Welcome to Dyer and Kaler Schools Music Page!

Hi Everyone!

My name is John Rimkunas, and I teach music at Dyer and Kaler Elementary schools. My favorite thing to do is sing, but I also play guitar, piano, ukulele, recorder and organ, and direct the Gorham Community Chorus and the First Parish UCC Gorham Choir. I like to travel, kayak and cook. My wife Allie (better known as "Mrs. R") teaches Art at Great Falls Elementary School in Gorham, we have 3 adult children, Peter, Miriam and Jonas, and two cats Moxie and Luther.

Since we went to remote learning in March 2020, I recorded over 50 "Song of the Day" videos. Now that we are back in school (sort of...) I will occasionally add more. Here is a link to find them: Past Songs of the Day.


Here is one of my favorites:

A friend of mine who is a composer that lives in Portland, Hank Beebe, wrote this song with an important message about the times we are living in:

I hope you enjoy this website - there is great information about what is going on in music at Dyer and Kaler, as well as some fun games and videos!
