Fine Arts

Welcome to General Music at Douglas!

Students are fortunate to have general music in grades K-4 and have a choice of band, orchestra, or general music in 5th and 6th grades. The administration at Flowing Wells recognizes the importance of fine arts as part of a well-rounded education, especially for elementary students.


                                                  

4th Grade – 4th graders are learning how to play the Ukulele. This instrument prepares them for next year as they learn music notes.  They will show you all sorts of wonderful things they have learned.
