Music with Mrs. Karia

Whittier's new buddy bench is a hit! Stay tuned for more of Whittier chorus' original song in the upcoming weeks.

3rd- 5th Graders have been playing the West African drums for the past few weeks. We started with simple echoing activities and now have worked up to working on ensemble pieces. Ensemble pieces build listening skills, teamwork skills, and a feeling of community!

Whittier Wildcats have been listening to music around the world! Bach Cello Suite #1 in G major (played by Yo Yo Ma) Earl of Essex (played by the Royal Wind Ensemble) Call Me Maybe (arranged for clarinet, bassoon and oboe arr. by Dave Kropf) Nimrod Enigma Variations (played for U.K. Rememberance Day) Drummers from Burundi (performing in Arusha Tanzania) All these pieces can be found on YouTube if you want to hear to what your children have been listening (and stretching) to!
