General Music with Mrs. Isleman and Ms. Scrom
"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."
- Ludwig van Beethoven
Welcome back! I hope you had a wonderful summer and are ready to learn new things! I believe music is a great tool to teach cultural diversity, while providing a hands on learning experience. In the music classroom we will learn many songs from different cultures. Students will learn by playing on instruments, singing, and dancing. Through performing these songs, we will learn about many traditions and customs from around the world!
Why we learn music?
- Music involves all subjects including math, art, science, literacy and history.
- It is physical and makes us move
- It is abundant and always around us
- We connect and reflect
- It is something every child can succeed in, and is fun to do
- Music is life -

Art with Mrs. Bonica & Ms. Ritter
Cherokee Art Program
The Visual Arts program at Cherokee is designed to provide children with
opportunities for self-expression, inventiveness, skill and aesthetic
awareness. Students will have developmental experiences in the creative
process of drawing, painting, collage and sculpture. Artistic process,
art history, multiculturalism and interdisciplinary lessons are
incorporated within the Visual Art curriculum. As an art teacher, I
believe that every child has an inherit artistic voice that can flourish
when nurtured.
