Student Teacher in Music Class!!

Ms. Mutz is pleased to introduce you to Mr. Will Charron, a University of Vermont music student who will be in the PPS Music Room for the next couple of weeks.  He has not met everyone yet, but he will!  He is very friendly and is happy to learn about music education in a K-2 school.

Students from Mrs. Hooper's class interviewed Mr. Charron, and here is a sampling of what they found out:
STUDENTS:  "How old are you?"
MR. CHARRON:  "I'm a senior at UVM, and so I'm 20 years old."
STUDENTS:  "Where are you from?"
MR. CHARRON:  "Connecticut."
STUDENTS:  "Do you have any pets?"
MR. CHARRON:  "Yes. Right now at home there are between 5 and 7 cats, and 3 guinea pigs."
STUDENTS:  "Do you have any siblings?"
MR. CHARRON:  "One older brother who is 28, and a sister who is 30."
STUDENTS:  "What made you start playing music?"
MR. CHARRON:  "I started playing trumpet when I was in 6^th grade. I quit when I was in 8^th grade because I did not like it. But when I was in 9^th grade, I picked up percussion and guitar.  I played music throughout high school, and by graduation, I knew I wanted to continue playing music.

Thanks for being with us, Mr. Charron!!  We look forward to learning some music from you!!!

First, he came into the Music Room and we discovered that he is quite a musician!!  He wanted to play all of Ms. Mutz's instruments.  He played the rainstick, maracas,  tubanos, and even the electric keyboard!  The song he played on the keyboard was called "The Entertainer".  Wow, he's good!!!  We enjoyed meeting CHAMP today!!
