Sing a New Song!

 A new school year has begun, full of excitement and opportunity!  We will learn about language and math, how the world works and how each of us fits into the community around us - and our work in the music room will enrich our learning in all of these areas.  
We will explore language by analysing the meaning and natural rhythms of speech and song, we will explore pattern and number by playing instruments and moving, and we will build meaningful connections with each other as we make music together.  More than that, each student will deepen their own understanding of what they think is beautiful, or interesting, or funny, and will have the opportunity to feel the pride and satisfaction of being a musician.

I am looking forward to working with the community of Royal Oak, and invite you to be a part of our musical adventures!  Watch this space for both classroom and extracurricular updates, and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns throughout the year.
