What do we do? We sing. We move. We play.

Making music beautifully all the way through!

My name is Mrs. Dueñez, I am the music teacher here at Shorehaven Elementary School, and I am very excited to be your music teacher! I will teach musical concepts through singing, dancing, playing instruments, movement, and exploration. Students will learn how to read and perform music and connect music to other subjects and experiences.

This music class is a place where creativity, community, and diversity are embraced and encouraged. I will ensure that every student leaves music class knowing their voice matters and that they are an essential part of our ensemble.

"Tell me, I forget, show me, I remember, involve me, I understand."- Carl Orff 

Music programs

Students will have the opportunity to perform what they have learned from music class in special programs.

Eagle Honor Choir

The Eagle Honor Choir is a group made out of fourth and fifth grade students. We practice on Thursdays from 3:30 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. and perform at school and in the community throughout the year. Choir focuses on formal singing and Orff Ensemble pieces of music.

Joining a choir offers a multitude of benefits beyond the joy of making music. From stress relief and increased confidence to the cultivation of lifelong friendships and the ability to positively impact your community.

Singing in a choir not only adds the beauty of music to you and your child's life but also helps to build strong character traits and increased self esteem.
