Welcome to Merion Elementary's music page!
Usually students in grades 1-5 participate in an hour of General Music in their classroom each week. Right now we will engage from home, create music with and alongside our families and sometimes together virtually. No matter where we are, Merion students love to sing, play, dance, listen, read, compose, and reflect. I miss being with you all, but we will still do our best to fill our lives with Music.
