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 students perform once a year for parents and their school friends.  This music presentation is a wonderful opportunity for children to learn to work together and gives them special moments they remember for a lifetime.

 
This year the third grade will be presenting Mary Poppins to family and friends. The performance will feature favorite songs such as Spoonful of Sugar and the ever popular Supercalifagilisticexpialidocious.

The three evening performances that will begin at 6:30 PM in the Wheelock school cafeteria.
