Mrs. Vanessa Parsons MusicTeacher
General Music at Horace Mann allows
students to explore music at all levels. Through singing, movement,
listening and playing, we are developing the creative and analytical
aspects of the well-rounded student. The music room is equipped
with many musical instruments and learning tools, including
xylophones, metallophones, autoharp, piano, music books and
a complement of traditional and ethnic percussion instruments.
Grades 3 through 6 also master basic notation, ear-training,
and playing skills with practice and performance on recorders.
Students are regularly assessed on music history, theory and
performance skills as outlined by the Missouri Show Me
Standards. Students also have the
opportunity to share their talents with the rest of the school
and community through the school's Fall and Spring Musical Programs,
a cooperative effort between the classroom and special area
teachers.
