On Lessons Day, students who take music lessons are invited to perform a piece for their classmates during their regular music class. This is an opportunity for some students to show skills they have gained by practicing regularly, and for all students to practice good audience skills. In fact, the class demonstrating the best audience skills will have their name put on a trophy, which will be displayed in the music studio!
Kindergarten, Second Grade and Third Grade will have their Lessons Day during regular music class on Wednesday, January 18th. First Grade and Fourth Grade will have it on Thursday, January 19th.
About Me
- Kathleen Arends
- I've been at OWS since fall of 1995, and I teach music classes for OWS kindergartners through fourth-graders. I'm certified in all three levels and Master Class in the Orff approach to music education, which uses speech, lots of movement, and mallet instruments as well as singing and listening. I also play oboe (rarely), recorders (all the time! I met my husband playing recorders, and we play in small ensembles with friends) and African-style marimba (as brought to the Pacific Northwest by Dumisani Maraire).
