\"\"March is Music in Our Schools Month.\u00a0 It\u2019s the time that we demonstrate the powerful effect of music in the lives of our students.\u00a0 What better way to mark this month then to sing and ring about our art.\u00a0 Children will remember the songs that we teach them throughout their lives.\u00a0 Be it a catchy tune, silly lyrics or an engaging movement, the music that we teach will impact our students in different ways, but the end results are the same \u2013 lifelong memories.<\/p>\n

As teachers of music, we hope to instill an appreciation, love or passion for music into our students.\u00a0 We do this best by actively involving them in the music-making process allowing them to be creative as they go and encouraging them to connect their experiences to the world around them.\u00a0 We also know that music will stimulate the intellectual, emotional, spiritual and social growth of our students affecting their lives in so many ways.<\/p>\n

We balance our choice of lessons and repertoire to broaden our students \u2013 classical, folk, world and nonsense songs fill our teaching space \u2013 all to provide our students with a varying wealth of repertoire.\u00a0 Along with our singing, we introduce drums and other percussion, recorders, Orff instruments, ukuleles, Boomwhackers\u00ae<\/sup>, KidsPlay\u00ae<\/sup> bells and handchimes all in effort for our students to find their voice.\u00a0 In the end, our hope is for well-rounded young musicians leading to accomplished adults who are kinder, gentler and welcoming.<\/p>\n

How often do we stop and sing about it?\u00a0 Music, that is.\u00a0 During this month, we have an opportunity to sum up all that we offer with songs that praise our beloved art.\u00a0 Words that express how wonderful music is that our students will remember for a lifetime.<\/p>\n
