    Welcome to music!!!  In music with Mrs. Banda we learn how to do some very important things! We will learn how to create different sounds with our voices and, for the very first time, some students will find their singing voices.  My students will learn how to keep a steady beat and react to music at various speeds. We do a lot of dancing! We respond to music through all kinds of movement and become comfortable using the different parts of our bodies. Most importantly, I want to bring joy to my students through music! Here are our Wappingers Music Outcomes.  If you would like to see a more detailed description about what your children are learning in music, please call me or e-mail me and I will give you a detailed copy of our outcomes and indicators.
