Oakwood School in Lemont celebrates music

LEMONT – Illinois Arts Week and Music in our Schools Month is a celebration of how the arts impact children’s learning and enriches their lives allowing them to develop insights and abilities making connections to the world around them.

From the predictable singing of “Welcome to Music” each class period at Oakwood School in Lemont to learning about notation, rhythm, listening, and singing, music inspires the students.

Creativity, self-expression, and musicality are emphasized through deftly created lessons by Micah Brandhandler, Oakwood’s music teacher. Experiences with drums and other instruments, boom whackers, and bells, combined with games, movement, and singing are the sights and sounds which fill our primary school.
