Band/Choir with
Hello and welcome to the Band/Choir page for Middle School Music! 6th-8th grade students may choose between 6th-8th grade band or grade level choirs. Band takes place from 7:15-7:45 on Mondays and Wednesdays before 1st period. These students will have a resource period during choir time! Choir and band students will be focusing on individual musicianship, music literacy, rhythmic competency, and music technology projects.
My name is Alexa Andrews and I'm the general music, choir, band, and theater teacher at Stone Bank. I cannot wait to get to know all of the kids and families, and start making music together. I graduated from Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, Illinois in May of 2020, but I was born and raised in Oconomowoc, WI.
My teaching philosophy and practices are heavily rooted in music technology, music literacy, experiencing/understanding music in our lives, and creating a safe space for all students. We will be learning through singing, playing, and movement. Music is for EVERYONE.
