Fourth Grade Teacher

Wattsburg Area Elementary Center 

 

Welcome to the Wattsburg Area Elementary Center music education homepage!

 

I am Mrs. Lesley Lopez and I have been the music teacher at WAEC for 22 years. I have taught music for a total of 33 years. During my career I have taught kindergarten through eighth grade general / vocal music in a school setting, and pre-school through college age students in a private piano and voice setting. 

 

I have a Bachelors of Music in Music Education degree from West Virginia University and a Masters of Music degree in Vocal Performance from the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati. For twenty-three years I have been the director of the "Voice of Peace" choir at Our Lady of Peace church in Erie. I sing professionally and I teach private piano and voice lessons.

 

Our elementary students at WAEC attend music class for forty-five minutes, once every five school days. At the elementary center we operate on a Day 1 through 5 schedule. During their music class time, the students learn about the six basic elements of music:  Rhythm, Melody, Harmony, Form, Tone Color and Expressive Elements. They explore these elements through singing, listening, moving, playing instruments and creating (composing) their own music.

 

 The music textbook that the students at the elementary use is the "Spotlight on Music "  textbook, published by Macmillan / McGraw - Hill.
