I am starting my 5th year at this Title I elementary school in a large urban district. In past school years, I have had up to 35 students in my 4th and 5th grade choir, 35 students in 4th and 5th grade strings and 25 students involved in 5th grade Band. All of my students love performing for their families and friends and it is a great joy to watch their enthusiasm! Id addition, I teach general music to all students in grades K-5, which is more than 400 students.
