Yesterday, we concluded Music In Our Schools Month. I have to acknowledge an ESSENTIAL warrior in the MIOSM advocacy movement: Dr. Erickson works tirelessly to support music (art, theatre and dance too) in ATL Public Schools and we are better for having her at the helm! Sarah Erickson

With so much going on after Spring Break, what better way to assess end of year skills than to compose a song to reflect how we feel? Ms Hyte’s class is dialed in composing their EOY projects to demonstrate their learning.

Thank you to The Music Studio Atlanta for supporting Morris Brandon Elementary School! We will get lots of use out of the button.

To say these students are engaged would do their focus a disservice. They are captivated! Thank you Music Will for providing stellar content to help us finish out our school year. Morris Brandon Elementary School Jay Bland Emily Morehart Señora Estrada Sarah Erickson #apsarts

Kicking off our first Wacky Wednesday by exploring and setting up our QuaverEd music rooms. Morris Brandon Elementary School kids are excited about learning music with this awesome resource! Jay Bland Sarah Erickson ATL Public Schools

Another QuaverEd learning moment: using the magic dot to help us review rhythms. We sang “Music Alone Shall Live” and now we are composing dotted rhythms. Did you know this lesson is based in algebra? Jay Bland Morris Brandon Elementary School

To you it sounds like chaos. To me, it’s students FULLY engaged in the composition process. Way to give 💯Joe Freeman class!

Nothing says FriYAY like a little YMCA dance break! Did you know that when you dance you demonstrate BOTH the steady beat and the rhythm? Music is essential to a whole child education. Morris Brandon Elementary School Jay Bland ATL Public Schools Sarah Erickson

Way to go Mr Harrelson’s class! We were drumming sixteenth notes today with QuaverEd. Now I’ve got Super Sixteenths stuck in my head! Making music all the time at Morris Brandon Elementary School

Vamos clase de Sra. Camacho! Today we composed ostinati with notes and movement while also working on a Native American song. Check them out. You should see short, repeated patterns. Muy bien muchachos!! Morris Brandon Elementary School
