🎶 Welcome to a Year of Harmony, WGLA Wildflowers!

I’m Ms. Koenig (pronounced KAYNICK), your music teacher in Room B105. I’m thrilled to be back and eager to foster a love of music in our Wildflowers! Throughout the year, we’ll explore exciting musical concepts, work on creative projects, and showcase our talents in performances for families and the school community.

What We’ll Learn – Ohio Music Standards

Our music curriculum is aligned with the Ohio Learning Standards for Music, which focus on:

• Historical, Cultural, and Social Contexts: Understanding music’s role across cultures and time periods
• Creative Expression and Communication: Performing, improvising, and composing music
• Analyzing and Responding: Listening to and evaluating music using appropriate vocabulary
• Connections, Relationships, and Applications: Exploring how music connects to other subjects and real-world experiences

Students will engage in singing, rhythm work, instrumental exploration, movement, and music appreciation.
