Music
Ms. Aitken
Hello Bagnall Families!
I am so excited to be making music with you all this year. I recently graduated from UMass Amherst and have been participating in band, choir, orchestra, and many other musical groups since I was in elementary school. Being back in the elementary school music classroom is a dream come true, and every day with the students is an adventure. Over the course of the school year, we will study many different instruments, styles of music, and famous musicians. Some highlights include using ukuleles in grades 4-6, Boomwhackers and xylophones in grades 2-3, and a variety of hand drums in kindergarten and first grade. We'll be learning about everything from Tchaikovsky and ballet to Stevie Wonder, from West African drumming to traditional Irish music. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would just like to chat about what we are doing in music class. I look forward to getting to know you all!
