Artist In Residence Program to Begin

We are very excited that we will have the opportunity to work with noted children's musician Paul Hann for the next month or so.  The Artist in Residence program allows an artist to come into the school setting and share their expertise with students.  Paul Hann has worked in several schools over the past years and brings a tremendous energy and creativity to his music.

During the program, students will work Mr. Hann to create an original song that they will then be able to perform and record.  At the end of the program, Mr. Hann will record the students' songs, complete with the student voices.  We will then have CD's available for families as a great keepsake from their elementary years.  In addition, each class will learn one of Mr. Hann's existing songs to round out our concert performance.

This is such an exciting way to extend the musical learning for our students.  We have been fortunate this year to be able to offer music instruction to all of our students through the expertise of Ms. Garry.  I believe it is important to offer a balance of instruction for our students in academics, the arts, and physical development;  we have been doing a great job of this.

David Cameron Elementary continues to grow and become a truly remarkable place for students to learn, and families to connect to their community.
