As we settle into our schedules, the music teachers have something to say. I asked them-the Band and Chorus teachers- what benefits do their students get from their classes. The Band teacher, Mary Phillips-or Ms. P to her students- said that her students get a better grasp of teamwork and tolerance in her classroom. The Chorus teacher, Ms. Bethany Cheaves, said that she incorporates what the students are learning in their mandatory classes, such as reading, writing, and arithmetic, into her lessons. The math comes in on note counts and reading in the song’s words. She even does this for her youngest students, having them sing about the colors they are learning and such.
