Here you will find weblinks and videos students can use to learn about different musical topics and experience music from home. These resources are not required assignments, merely a way for students and parents to engage in music outside of school. I hope these resources bring some enrichment and creative time for your family while your student is away from school.
Quaver's Marvelous World of Music
At Ellendale Elementary School I utilize a wonderful music website to help teach my music students called Quaverr's Mare. During this time of hybrid learning Quaver will be used to provide instruction in music. Please use this link to allow your student to access fun lessons and interactive music games to help hone the skills they have been developing in music, such as: rhythm reading, pitch matching by singing, social and cultural understanding of songs, dancing to music, and enjoying their musical creativity. The music activities and lessons are organized by grade level and can be easily navigated with the directions provided by the website. If you have any questions about how to access this wonderful resource please reach out to me via-mail or phone and I'll be with you as quickly as possible.
