Ms. Cowles
My name is Stephanie Cowles, and I am thrilled to teach music to your 4th & 5th grade child. In music class your child will have an opportunity to explore a variety of music. They will have an introduction to recorders, keyboards, musicals and many other in the music classroom.
Recorders
Fourth and fifth grade students will be playing recorders this year. The 4th Grade will be introduced to the beginning notes and continue to play them more next year in 5th grade. 5th Grade will be doing an introduction as well as continuing on to “Recorder Karate.” Recorders will help the students learn to read music.
Practice
It is important for your child to practice for 5 to 10 minutes a day.
