“Music is the universal language of mankind.”
We all hear it in our hearts or played in the mist of our surroundings. It has the power to control our emotions and directs our paths.
I would like to say, “Thank you for the opportunity to teach music this year to your child.” I believe each student has great potential and it just needs to be discovered to be shown. As an educator I will do my best in demonstrating the skills needed to bring the best potential from our students, for Berg Jones Elementary has a staff that cares. I will do my part in creating a successful year.
I would like share with you some of the things we will be working on this year. We are going to have tons of fun learning major components in making music. We are going to learn notes, rests, time signatures, dynamics, and other essential components in music. We are going to make short songs created by the students.
To begin with, we are going to speak and sing to various foreign languages/dialects in class. We are going to learn about different valuable people and things in other cultures. We are going to create crafts that will explore various traditions in our country and other countries. We are going to learn and share knowledge on music composers/artists in past and present times.
Additionally, we are going to learn the dance styles of various cultures’ music. We are going to discuss the similarities and differences of the dance styles of these cultures. We are going to create short dance moves to music which the students are to going teach to their peers from these foreign cultures.
Finally, I believe that I have a fun year planned for our children. I feel they will become well rounded with the planned activities for the year. We are going to be safe in the classroom by sanitizing the equipment, supplies, and practice social distancing. I am looking forward to this year.
