Meet the Music Teacher!

In the music room, our goal is to create, in the words of expert John Feierabend, "Tuneful, Beautiful, and Artful" students, and to provide meaningful musical experiences for these students. Learning takes place through many different methods in the music room: singing, dancing, playing instruments and using our imaginations. These are all skills that students use to become musical individuals. Students study composers, listen to many different pieces, hear lots of different instruments, and perform musicals. Our classroom is an encouraging, fun, expressive, and imaginative place!

SPECIAL ACTIVITIES

Recorders
All fourth-grade students in the Russellville School District learn to play the recorder in their music classes. The recorder is a great pre-band instrument, and it can help teach music literacy, melody, rhythm, improvisation, and teamwork. Families are given the opportunity to purchase a recorder for home use.
