Creating Pathways to Success!

Music

WELCOME TO MUSIC!!

Get ready to learn music through singing, playing instruments, listening to music, moving to music and exploring MUSIC! I am excited to continue the general music education program at ACES. We will be using the "GAME PLAN" curriculum which includes singing, dancing, playing orff instruments and other percussion instruments, learning music notation and creating our own music. Each grade level will do one musical performance as well as the Holiday Sing-A-Long!

Muisc and teaching has always been my passion. The story goes, when I was in fifth grade my piano teacher, church choir director, and my mom were all guessing what I would be when I grew up. They all agreed I would be doing something musical. I have been playing piano since I was six, singing in community theatre groups and choirs since I was nine and playing string instruments since I was ten. I cannot wait to share all that I have learned through my amaizng teachers, directors, mentors and family with your children!

Feel free to email me if you have any quetsions or stop on by the music room if you want to see what we are doing! lbrown@tanq.org

How can I get a chance to hear the Tucson Symphony?

We will need chaperones for the Symphony trip in April. Letters were sent home with permission slips and chaperone requests. If you did not receive one, email Mrs. Brown or the classroom teacher.
