Welcome to Music with Ms. Ames!
At Manzanita Elementary, music is more than just a special—it’s a joyful and essential part of our students’ education. In Ms. Ames’s music classroom, students in kindergarten through fifth grade explore rhythm, melody, movement, and expression through songs, games, instruments, and performances. Along the way, they build important life skills like active listening, focus, collaboration, creativity, and confidence.
Music helps students grow not only as performers but also as thinkers, problem-solvers, and global citizens. Whether learning to keep a steady beat, singing in harmony, or composing their own tunes, Manzanita students are building a strong foundation that supports their academic and social-emotional development. We’re excited to make music—and memories—together this year!
