Mrs. Thornton

Hello!

My name is Katie Thornton and I am excited to be teaching general music for the Remote Learning Academy this year. This is my thirteenth year teaching music and tenth in Dublin City Schools. I believe music is a vital part to a child's education and I look forward to providing exciting opportunities for our Remote Learning Academy students this year.

General Music is a new course specifically designed for the Remote Learning Academy. Students will have general music for 9 weeks and art for 9 weeks. The general music curriculum includes music theory, study of rhythm through percussion, and how music connects communities and cultures.

I am committed to supporting all of our students’ many musical goals. All topics will have opportunities for student choice, differentiation, extension, and enrichment.

Each day, students will meet with me on a google meet at their set time. The links to the google meets can be found in Schoology.

If you have any questions, please email me at thornton_katharine@dublinschools.net.

I am looking forward to a great year!
