Hello! My name is Katelyn Gibson and I am excited to teach your student in Music at J.T. Reddick this year! Music class is available to all children, Kindergarten through Fifth grade. All grade levels receive 1 hour of music at least once a week. Students are expected to participate in the activities and make use of the time to accomplish many objectives.

Music is a wonderful opportunity for students to explore their different gifts and talents. Music gives each child the opportunity to have fun, develop a positive attitude towards themselves, and gain an appreciation for music.

It is our goal at J.T. Reddick to see that each child develops:

• an appreciation of the arts and a love of music

• the ability to participate in the creative processes of music

• an understanding of musical symbols, terms, and basic music theory

If you have any particular area of expertise in the field of music and the arts, and would like to share it with the students, please let us know.
