I hope you are staying safe and finding joy in whatever small things you can. Music should be an escape, not a chore. If there is anything I can do to serve you and your families, please don't hesitate to reach out. My office hours for helping parents and students are from 10am-11am every day and I am always available by email!

Don't forget to bookmark the Music Blog in your browser for easy access and check back often!  

With love,

Welcome to the Music Blog!

You may find yourself here for the first time this year as a result of the current distance learning situation. If so, welcome! I'm glad you're here and hope you will take a moment to bookmark this page for easy access when you need a music resource. If you ever lose this page, you can visit your grade Grade Level Blog to find it again! 

Check out our first video of the Distance Learning school year here! I miss your students and hope you are enjoying your time together in as many ways as possible. Please let me know if and how I can better serve you during this time. 

Each week the blog will be updated with activities and videos to support music involvement at home. I understand that some families are able to access the online packets, and some are using paper packets, so any resources posted here are meant to support the assignments in the packet and are optional.

If you need something for your little ones to do to get up and moving, my dear colleague Mr. Brown has a wonderful warm-up to Rondo Alla Turca available here safely. 😊

Please feel free to contact me via email or by phone if you have any questions, or want your student to leave a message!

Distance Learning

Dear Griffin Parents, 

As we move into the realm of distance learning please know that this is new for almost all of us! I am here to answer as many questions as possible for you and to support you and your scholars through this exciting, different, challenging adventure. 

This week should be a review for everyone in music, but as we move along I hope to introduce new concepts as we discover the need. 

Kinder kiddos will need the most support with their work, but all our students are going to need a little guidance through their music work. 6th graders should be doing all their work with little to no help, but I am available for tutoring!

As you know, Specials have been made optional. I am planning and providing as if it was required, however, and want to make sure we don't lose ground with your little musicians. 

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions for me or Mrs. Trujillo!

With love, 

Ms. Widdowson
