Mrs. Mueller’s philosophy:  I teach the KY Core Content for arts and humanities using various methods, including Kodaly and Orff-Schulwerk. The Kodaly method uses folk songs and other high-quality musical material to develop competency in music literacy.  Orff-Schulwerk is a method based heavily on student exploration and creativity.  I am certified in all three levels of Kodaly training, including Orff-Schulwerk.   My educational philosophy is to facilitate students developing the tools to pursue and enjoy music throughout their lives in whatever capacity suits each of them best.  Students will make music in my classroom by singing, playing instruments, speaking, and moving to explore the musical elements and styles of the world.

In Visual and Performing Arts class, students will study the mediums of visual art, theater, and dance.  Students will explore learning the fundamental elements of each art style and understand the basics of each art form by the time they leave for middle school. The tentative schedule for the year is visual art in the fall and dance and theater in the spring!

• We study art to learn more about ourselves and the world.

• Art helps us understand our emotions and ourselves.

• Being creative improves problem-solving, critical thinking, and memory.

• Making art is fun!
