Hello parents!
Welcome to the band program at Canon City Middle
School. My name is Stephanie Nolan and am proud to be a member of
the staff here at CCMS. I have been a music educator with the
Fremont RE-1 school district for the last 20 years. My career began
as a vocal/instrumental music teacher at Washington Elementary. I
loved being at that school and even though it was extremely hard to leave
I am now thrilled to be teaching full time in the area that is nearest and
dearest to my heart, instrumental music!
This website contains useful information for you to be
productive and successful in this class. I look forward to working
with you in furthering the development of your musicianship skills this
year at CCMS.
Parents, I thank you in advance for your continued support
of our Arts Programs here at Canon City Middle School.
With Great Enthusiasm!
Stephanie D. Nolan
Music Is Important to Life and
Learning
I believe students benefit from music education because
it develops the whole person,
gradually building music literacy while cultivating
intuition, reasoning, imagination and dexterity
into unique forms of expression and communication.
School District Fremont RE-1
MUSIC EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY
We believe music should be introduced to all students as
a lifetime skill.
It is our purpose to develop the capacity to find
personal fulfillment
through meaningful experiences in music.
If the musical experience is to be educationally sound,
it must involve
aesthetic, emotional, intellectual, physical, and social
development.
