Welcome to music! All of our Floyd B. Olson Middle School scholars will take one quarter of music class. During just over 40 days together in the music room 110, we will learn almost 40 songs. Together in our music class, students will sing, drum, strum, clap, snap, slap, pat, stomp, call, name, notate, compose, improvise, create and practice music. Students will get to share in my energy and enthusiasm for learning the universal language of music.
Music=History. Music=Math. Music=Science. Music=Literature.
Music=Language. Music=Emotion. Music=Fun
