• Welcome to Music, First Grade!


    First Grade comes to music for thirty minutes two times a week between 12:20-1:20. In First Grade, students concentrate on using their singing voice to make music.  We explore some of the classroom instruments (drums, triangles, xylophones, rhythms sticks.) Students will learn new songs using their singing voice and movement.  Ask your student to share a song with you!
