Music for the Upper Elementary students is a combined curriculum of General Music (continuing from K-3 music) and Chorus! General music covers many topics, such as: instrument groups, note naming, rhythm reading, playing recorders, and more! General music is a great foundation for students wanting to continue their music journey in 5th grade by joining band. UES Chorus teaches fundamentals such as singing in parts/harmonies, basic and more complex rhythms, and reading choral music.
The UES chorus and general music classes perform at 2 concerts - the Winter Concert and the Spring Concert. Concerts are mandatory and part of the student's music grade.
This year's Winter Concert is scheduled for Thursday, December 12th at 7pm at IWMS. The Spring Concert is scheduled for Tuesday, May 6th at 7pm at IWMS. The Spring Concert also acts as the Music Awards Night.
