ABOUT THE MES MUSIC PROGRAM:
The students at Mannsdale come to Music once a week. They sing songs, learn traditional dances, create dances/movements, play instruments, learn about the orchestra, study various composers, explore music through literature lessons, experience a wide variety of music styles, and learn to read and write music. Please check out the school calendar and your child's weekly newsletters for more details on upcoming events and other special announcements.
