FAQ
When are performances?
Kindergarten, grade one, and grade two each have an informance during March. An informance is an opportunity for parents and gaurdians to attend a regularly schedule music class and watch their children learn the elements of music.
Grades four and five put on a Spring Concert, usually in May. This concert includes music from the grade 4 chorus, grade 5 chorus, the combined chorus, and our beginning and advanced instrumental ensembles. During the school performance, grade three students will also present what they have learned to play on their recorders.
Who participates in chorus?
All grade four and five students at Woodlin Elementary participate in chorus once a week as part of their special class rotations (art, media, music, phys ed, and chorus).
What is being learned during chorus?
Choral singing is a group activity that requires teamwork, coordination, and effort. Musically, students are learning the basics of reading a score (sheet music) and are supplementing their general music curriculum with real world context and experience.
Who participates in band and orchestra?
All grade four and five students at Woodlin Elementary may choose to play an instrument at the beginning of the year. This class is a pull out block in small groups (6-8 students) once a week.
