Welcome to Mr. Brown's Website!
General Music
General music classes have different teachers for 4th and 5th grade. Mrs. Wells teaches 4th grade and Mr. Brown teaches 5th grade. Each homeroom has music for one period every other day, for one trimester.
The goal of the 5th general music class at the UES is to foster love and interest in music through understanding it's component parts. Topics we will work on in class incude rhythm, pitch, melody. music literacy, form, meter, tempo, and culture. These aspects are taught through fun and engaging activities.
I look forward to seeing all students in the general music class!
Band
At the UES, band is open to 5th graders only. We will learn a variety of songs to perform for our families. There are two concerts, one in the winter and one in the spring. Those dates will be updated here.

We will also learn how to be good practicers, learners, and time managers, and how to be a part of a team. Band is in awesome place to have fun, meet new friends, and work hard.
The band program takes place during the school day. Rehearsals take place during one period, once a week, so the students will leave part of a class once a week for band on a rotating schedule which allows not to miss the same class every week. There is some flexibily in the schedule, and I remain in constant communication with other teachers to work around important lessons and assignments.
