Music

General Music Grades K-5th

Welcome to music at Wyoming Elementary! In the music room we will sing, play instruments, listen to, describe, and compose music as well as learn skills that are applicable to your other classroom subjects and the world! 

We are excited to explore the many dimensions of music with the students in my class and by extension, their families. We will learn the skills necessary to interact with instruments from the percussion, wind, keyboard and string families over the course of their time here. My goal is to make music fun, engaging and relevant to help increase music literacy for future generations.

 

 Band, Choir and Orchestra Grade 6

Students in grade 6 choose between band, choir, and orchestra. All three groups meet at the same time twice a week with additional group lessons given to band and orchestra to help develop techniques on like instruments. All three groups aim to create an equally fulfilling experience focusing on music literacy, ensemble performing skills and exposure to diverse repertoire. These skills among others creates a springboard for those interested in careers in music, performing music leisurely as well as being the intellectual music listeners of the future.

Band and Orchestra

Students in grade 6 choose between band, orchestra, and general music class.  Group lessons for band and orchestra are provided once a week, as well as one large group rehearsal per week starting in November.  We also provide an all-district band or orchestra experience on Saturdays at Forest Lake High School in the spring.  This is by invitation only.  In May a concert is given at the high school allowing students an opportunity to perform with a full band or orchestra in a performance facility.
