GILLETTE SCHOOL MUSIC

The main goal of the Gillette School Music Program is to have all students have a positive experience while exploring, and learning the fundamentals of music (beat, pitch, rhythm, dynamics, tempo, form, and tone color.) The students will do this through chanting, singing, playing classroom instruments, dancing, and performing various styles of music.

There are three expectations in the Music Room:

1.   Be a good friend

2.   Be a good listener

3.   Follow directions the FIRST time they are given

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, the preferred way to contact me is via email at trideout @ longhill.org. 

WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE MUSIC ROOM???
