Music overview - what does music look like at WES?
Music overview - what does music look like at WES?
All students K-4 receive music instruction once every 6 days for 45 minutes with the music teacher and take part in a yearly spring music share event. Major goals across all grade levels in music are:
Fostering musical literacy
Gaining an understanding of our musical heritage and those of other cultures and
Developing the building blocks of musicianship (in tune singing, steady beat, active listening, etc.)
Activities in music are guided by our district, state, and National Core Arts standards, which include: singing (using solfege), playing Orff/classroom instruments, reading and writing notation, listening, creating/improvising, moving, and evaluating and understanding artistic culture.
To see examples of what your student is learning about, keep an eye out for updates on the "Home and Blog" page!
To hear what your student is learning, come to our concerts in the spring of each school year! (see "Music Shares")
