Music Room Tour

This Thursday is Open House here at Memorial, and you are all welcomed to stop by the music room!  However, if your schedule does not allow for a visit, I wanted to give you a short tour of the classroom so that you can see where your child goes for music twice a week!


We have a wonderfully large space that allows us to keep classes separate, or combine two classes without feeling cramped! (not pictured:  the colorful risers in the back of the room!)


Music Room Rules:

  • Follow Directions the First Time Given
  • Respect All People and Property
  • One Voice Speaks at a Time
  • Participate With Effort
  • Earn Your BRAVO!



We keep track of the BRAVOs earned on these charts.  10 BRAVOs earns a class 10 minutes of music party time!


Students who follow the rules and serve as a positive example for other students can be selected for Music Superhero.  The superhero gets to sit on a special cushion (for the most comfy seat in the room!), put the BRAVO letters on the board, add the sticker, and they have the privilege of being the first volunteer for any activity!


Of course we have a word wall to help with the (sometimes tricky) music vocabulary we use so often.


...and we also have a Composer Corner, which gets updated throughout the year as we learn about new composers and their music!


One of my favorite places in the classroom is the Book Nook.  A comfy rocking chair and a collection of music books is all you need for a relaxing afternoon.


The music room would not be complete without instruments!  Above is the digital piano that Mrs. Niu, Ms. Rolfing and I (Mrs. Rzasa) use in every class.


Although the students cannot use our piano, they love playing on the percussion instruments!  Above you will see some of our favorite hand percussion instruments....


...and in our closet you can find the xylophones, metallophones, and glockenspiels.


We also have an awesome assortment of drums, tambourines, and cymbals!


Lastly, my desk and Mrs. Niu's desk.  You'll find us here between classes! :)

Thank you so much for taking this little tour, and we hope you stop by sometime!
