Hello LUSD!
I'm Katie Branzuela, I began my time at LUSD in 2013, but have been teaching music since 2010. I've spent more time on Franklin and LBCS sites, but am extremely excited to be a part of Penryn, Ophir STEAM, Placer, Loomis Grammar and H. Clarke Powers schools this year! While I've had experience teaching a little bit of everything relating to music, my passion lies with early music education. This year, I'll be focusing on teaching the small ones - Transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and First grade. In addition to that, I will continue to direct the Loomis District Chorus, a group open to 4th - 8th grade LUSD students. Parents are always welcome in my classroom - we'd love to have you come play with us! Contact me if you'd like to visit or have any other questions: kbranzuela@loomisk8.org. |
Early Elementary Music Skills:
- Tuneful – to have tunes in their heads and learn to coordinate their voices to sing those tunes.
- Beatful – to feel the pulse of music and how that pulse is grouped in either 2s or 3s.
- Artful – to be moved by music in the many ways music can elicit a feelingful response.
