Abernethy Music Program

The Abernethy community is enthusiastic in its support of the school's music program. The past few years have provided added support for music through fundraising and grant writing efforts.

Our music teacher, Mrs. Nancy Nordwall, is well-loved by her students and well-respected by her peers. Her goal as a music teacher is to develop to the fullest extent possible the innate musicality present in all children and to have each student develop a love and appreciation for all types of music.

Music instruction is provided to all grades. The Abernethy music program gives students an opportunity to experience music through listening, playing instruments, moving and dancing, singing, reading and writing musical notation.

Mrs. Nordwall teaches the "Orf" music method using xylophones to learn musical notes. Third, fourth and fifth grades are also receiving recorder instruction and can participate in the Abernethy Choir. All students will be performing in a Music Program during the school year.
