Welcome to the World of Music - Parkside & Bethalto East
Hello Parents,
It is a joy to teach General Music to our wonderful District #8 students who attend Parkside & Bethalto East Elementary Schools. I warmly welcome each student to the world of music where they can discover the positive ways in which music uplifts their spirits and heals their minds. I will teach and engage the students in a variety of songs with movement and musical Aerobics, as well as give the students an understanding of music note values, music symbols, ear training and the ability to count and tap rhythmic patterns with matching poetry. We will use a variety of rhythmic instruments, including African drums, congas, sticks, bells, pan drums, xylophones, maracas and more. Students will learn fun and catchy songs for Christmas programs, patriotic medleys for honoring our American veterans, as well as learn songs that teach good character and team spirit.
