Grammar School Music - Ms. Brianna Pylant

We’re thrilled to have you in Ms. Pylant’s Grammar General Music class! Since joining ACE in 2017, Ms. Pylant has brought a wealth of musical experience and passion to our school. Her journey began with playing basketball and engaging in various art projects during her school years. She also enjoyed singing and playing the keyboard in a band. Her musical journey continued with learning the violin at age 8, and since then, she has taught herself to play the guitar, ukulele, and recorder.Brianna Pylant

 

In our General Music class, students will explore the joy of reading, singing, and playing a variety of instruments. Ms. Pylant believes that the best learning happens in an environment where students feel secure and are encouraged to have fun. Beyond teaching the fundamental skills of music-making, she focuses on helping students develop critical thinking through music—whether it's through reading, writing, or listening.

 

In Kindergarten, students begin by learning basic rhythms and melodic direction, using their voices to explore high and low sounds. By the time they finish 5th grade, they will have mastered complex rhythms and the ability to read notes on a staff, applying these skills vocally and instrumentally. From bucket drums to Orff instruments, every student has the chance to play and experiment. In the upper grades, students can specialize in instruments like the recorder in 4th grade and the ukulele in 5th grade, and even audition for the Grammar Choir.

Music is a powerful language, and Ms. Pylant’s goal is to equip students with the tools to explore and understand it in their unique way. She is excited for the upcoming year and the diverse musical experiences that await!

Welcome to a year of musical discovery and fun!

 
 
Grammar Choir:  An Exciting Opportunity for 4th and 5th Graders!
 

Grammar Choir is a special auditioned singing group for 4th and 5th graders that meets on Tuesdays after school. In this vibrant and engaging group, students explore a diverse range of songs across different styles, genres, languages, and cultures.

 

Rehearsals with Ms. Pylant are filled with dynamic activities and games designed to enhance students' musicianship. Through these sessions, participants develop essential vocal techniques including proper breathing, posture, diction, vowel pronunciation, and tone quality. They also learn to read music and refine their performance skills, which shine through in their choir performances.

 

Audition details for Grammar Choir will be sent home in Wednesday folders throughout the school year. If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact Ms. Pylant via email, which you can find on your child’s Grammar Enrichment D2L page.

 

We look forward to a fantastic year of music and performance!
