The Kindergarten general music course is where we introduce students to music. We sing, play instruments, move, create, and play games that have them fully engaged in their music learning. Musical concepts taught in this course lay the foundation for a solid music education, and are revisited in future years.
This page is intended to be a location where students and parents are able to see what is happening in our music classes, it is not meant to be homework. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact Ms. Tara at tjllewellyn@edu.pe.ca . Have a great day! 😊
