Music Syllabus 2021-2022
Welcome to music!
We are excited to serve our students at Cherokee Charter Academy. Our music teachers are Mrs. Elora White and Mrs. Deanna Smith . We believe that music is important for students to have an outlet for expressing emotions. We also believe in teaching students the elements of music and to have a basic understanding of how to read music. We look forward to seeing our students grow throughout the year!
