I have had a great week enjoying beautiful music at Chesterbrook. Chorus and Band students showcased their hard work and talents in their spring concert last night. Thank you Mrs. Ater, Mrs. Zenk and Ms. Aquilina for their excellent instruction. ⁦@CES_FCPS⁩

Kinders applied their pattern knowledge from math to the music notes they're learning to write! Can you guess the pattern? #crosscurricular #musicismath #mustacheday

The third graders @CES_FCPS learned a song for the cherry blossoms (“sakura”) in Japanese! They also learned about making emotional connections through music (the composer, the performer and the listener). #smallbutmightymusicians #cherryblossomsdc
