Hello! Welcome to Westgate Strings and Band! We will be posting some pictures and/or videos throughout the year to showcase the awesomeness that takes place every day here at Westgate in the Strings and Band department :)

My bulletin board in the strings room is almost done! Can you spot what I still need to do to complete it? :)

It was so great to see everyone at Open House today! <3 See you on Monday!

So excited to have some of our alumni come and perform for us today. Don’t forget to sign up for Band, Strings, and Chorus!!!!

Shoulder rest factory: some shoulder rests were made for my violin and viola friends! My cat was helping so I’m sorry if they have cat hair on them 😂😂

So exciting to see all of these cellos waiting to be played in 4th grade!!

My 5th graders were very happy today to be able to play their D scale in a round for the first time! Last year when they were beginners, we all played the same thing - now we are working on two parts happening at the same time. I’m so proud of them for playing together!

My 6th graders learned a Halloween song in only a few weeks called “Stirring the Brew.” The last note is “Boo.” 👻

A special thank you to our band and strings students for spreading musical cheer through the halls today! 👏🏻

Today, we enjoyed a performance by our band and strings students! They will be performing again at 6:00pm tonight for families to enjoy🎻🎺

The 4th grade string musicians did an amazing job during the winter concert!

We had a great time playing Star Wars outside of Westgate ES today! May the 4th be with you!
