Dear Carlson Parents,
My wish is to foster lifelong appreciation of music through active music making. Music class will help to develop musical skills and understanding,using music of various styles from the United States and around the world.
Your child will also have opportunities to participate in theme-based music-making. Some possible themes include American music,world music,friends,families,self-esteem,animals,ecology,seasons and celebrations.Your child may also be involved in classroom and/or school-wide performances,and you will be invited to attend or assist with these performances.
You can reinforce your child's music learning at home.Consider listening music together and talking about it.Ask your child to share songs learned or heard in music class. Attend local concerts to help foster appropriate audience behavior. These experiences will help make music meaningful at school,at home,and in the community.
Musically your,
Tina Rodriguez
