I'm going to try my very best to keep you updated on the overview of what your child will be learning each week in Music Class. For more details on each lesson, please check the page of the class your child is in.
Parents,
It would be greatly beneficial if you would ask your child what they learned in Music Class on a regular basis. I will also try to add the sheet music (if there is no copyright infringement), so you will know if your child is singing the song correctly.
Also, I understand there are times where you would need to pull your child out of school for various appointments and events; but try, at all possible, to avoid having your child miss out on Music Class. It not only hurts your child, but the class as a whole, when a child does not know his/her singing lines and acting lines for a special performance.
For your reference, here is the schedule for Music Classes.
