One of the saddest things I have to do at the end of every year is "tear down" the music room. Everything must come down off the walls and off the boards - posters, borders, bulletins, cut-outs - and all equipment and instruments packed up and put into storage for the summer. This is so that the room can be cleaned for a fresh start in the fall. While I understand the necessity of this, it doesn't make the job any more pleasant. Teachers spend a lot of time setting up their rooms to make them look amazing, welcoming, and fun. This past year I thought the music room looked pretty much...perfect.

Welcome to the CTE Music Department website! Mrs. Kehl here, music teacher at Catawba Trail Elementary School in Columbia, South Carolina. This website has been a goal of mine for two years, and it's finally coming to fruition! I hope to use this website to inform, educate, and inspire. I'll be posting information about all aspects of the music program at CTE: music classes, curriculum, grade-level performances, choir, talent show...just to name a few! I hope to use this website to keep parents, students, and community members up-to-date on what's happening in the music room (and on the stage) at CTE. Take a few minutes to wander around the website and check out all the tabs, particularly the "Resources" tab, which has important informatin about all sorts of things. This website is a work in progress, so check back often!
