Info about 2024 music shares will be posted in the coming months!

All students at WES take part in a yearly music share. Each group shares on the newly named Karen Taylor Stage here at WES - friends and family members are invited to come!

These shares are a chance to share what we are learning in music class! It will include songs and other activities we have done in music class this year. It will also include explanations of the musical skills and concepts the students have learned! The goal is to offer a sampling of activities students have done throughout the year that reflects the curriculum and my teaching approach as a whole. This type of event is sometimes nicknamed an ‘informance’ because it is informal and informative!

Goals for our music shares:

• to educate our audience while entertaining them

• to give every student a chance to perform (share) their learning

• to showcase the 'process' while sharing the final 'product'

• to share the 'behind-the-scenes' work of being a musician

• to allow students the chance to choose the things we share and help create the music share

• to authentically show what a day in music class looks like! this includes:

  • playing instruments
  • singing
  • music literacy
  • moving to music
  • composing music
  • and more!
