Hello, my name is Dorothy Parmenter.  Your child has music with me once a week.  A major value of music is the positive self-image that results from the many different ways of being involved in music.  If a child does not enjoy their early music experience this may color their feelings about music for a lifetime.

 

The most powerful education in music comes through active participation in the process of creating, performing and responding to music.  This is accomplished in music class through singing, playing percussion instruments, dramatization and creative movement.

 

Music performances are an important aspect of the music program at Wheelock.  All third grade student perform once a year for parents and their school friends.  These music presentations are a wonderful opportunity for children to learn to work together and gives them special moments they remember for a lifetime.

 

This year our third graders will be presenting Mary Poppins. The dates for the third grade presentations are:

Monday, February 2nd

Tuesday, February 3rd

Wednesday, February 4th

All performances begin at 6:30 PM in the Wheelock School Cafeteria.

All are welcome!
