TEACHER: Mr. McKayEMAIL: pmckay@clarenceschools.orgPHONE: (716) 407-4218
About the Teacher: This is my second year teaching in the Clarence Central School District. I am so excited to be sharing the joys of music with every student at Harris Hill in K-5 general music and chorus!Welcome to Music, Room 218, at Harris Hill Elementary School!Dear Harris Hill Families,
With a rapidly evolving situation surrounding COVID-19, I will be updating my website with online resources and lessons for students to complete at home. Music education, at its core, is about human expression and sharing artistic experiences with one another in a deep and meaningful way. During this time of uncertainty, it is important to adapt these experiences in the most accessible way possible, which is why I encourage parents and students to check in on my webpage for updates regarding new songs, activities, and lessons that will accommodate for distance learning. While the situation is not ideal, it is essential that we work together to create the best musical and educational experiences possible for at-home instruction, and continue to create beauty in our lives through the power of music! If you have any further questions or concerns regarding online music instruction, please do not hesitate to email me directly.
Sincerely,
Mr. McKay
