The research shows that music learning improves comprehension in beginner readers & in students experiencing reading difficulties, it counteracts the negative effects of low SES on children's literacy development, it assists with word decoding, reduces maths anxiety symptoms...
It's THINKING THURSDAY! 🧠
When we sing along to a favourite song, have you ever thought about how the words are slowed down or stressed differently to the way we would naturally speak them in a sentence? This can really help younger children hear stressed syllables. @bb_brains
Thank 4th Grade Strings & Band! We loved your performance & the way you shared the story of your learning throughout the concert. Third graders are excited for their chance to learn next near @OsborneElem
Today for #whyimarched#staffsaturday, we feature QV's newest music department member--Mrs. Molly Clark, who was hired to teach elementary band and orchestra in 2019. #MIOSM

If music ensembles are offered in the 9 year span of gr. 4-12 and there is an option of quitting at the end of the 4th yr., it concedes to the idea that 12 yr. old kids less than halfway through their instruction have this figured out already and are old enough to reject it.
Great morning having the @quakervalley Marching Band and HS String Orchestra play for all of Osborne, and 3rd grade at Edgeworth. Thanks to @Mrs_ClarkQV for setting this all up for us! cc: @QVHSPrincipal
BAND is a place for everyone. If you're not a good enough musician yet, just hang in there. Just stick with us. You'll be made good enough. #GRIT#growthmindset
Today was a great day at @EdgeElementary! It was the first day students were able to play band instruments in school since March 13, 2020. I was too excited to get any videos! #qvsd#edgeworth#band#musiceducation
