The fall/winter concert includes singing and instrumental performances from each class in the school, Pre-K-6. The spring concert is a school-day event that features the band and chorus, and includes a school-wide song and dance component. As a new teacher, I look forward to incorporating more performance opportunities throughout the school year.

Thoreau said, βIn a world of peace and love, music would be the universal language.
The music program at HES introduces instrumental and vocal instruction, music theory, history, careers and musical genres, but most importantly, strives to bring the joy of music to every student. While there is ample evidence that music benefits all aspects of academic growth and brain development, I also want students to appreciate the emotional component of music, and recognize it as a form of expression and communication that can unite people.
