ABOUT
The Bateman Elementary music program focuses on four main artistic elements: create, perform, respond, and connect. Students will be expected to create and perform personal works, evaluate musical recordings, and make connections through their personal experiences. Through the use of cultural folk songs and movement students will learn the basic elements of beat, rhythm, tempo and timbre. The 3rd and 4th grade curriculum will also include recorders as a stepping stone to future instrumental exploration. All students will be exposed to performance opportunities throughout the year both for their own classes as well as parent performances. Check out the events page for upcoming performances.

Middle School Music Ensembles
Our after-school music ensembles for students in 5th - 8th grade will begin auditions this week! We will hold auditions Wednesday Oct. 1 and Thursday Oct. 2 from 3:30-4:30 (no later than 5:00). If you plan on staying, make sure you bring a permission form signed by your parents. You may print an extra copy of the letter as well as print audition material here! After auditions, we will determine the best practice times for each ensemble. Good luck and I cant wait to get started!
After School Percussion Ensemble
We will be starting a Percussion Ensemble that will meet on Mondays after school from 3:30-4:30. This is an open ensemble and anyone is welcome to join. We will be working on rhythm, and using hand drums and small percussion instruments to work on improvisation. Each week will produce something different! Students need a permission slip to attend. You may either give permission to attend every Monday, or individual Mondays (each individual Monday would then require a new permission form). You can click the link below to find the permission form, or stop by room 128 to get one.
3-5 Grade Choir
We will be starting our 3-5 Choir on Friday Oct. 31. This ensemble will be open to the first 30 students to bring signed permission forms to the music room (Room 128). We will meet every Friday after school from 3:35-4:30 and will have a variety of performances including the holiday assembly. If you have any questions about the after school choir, please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected].
