Exposure to music is an integral part of the educational experience at Kenston Forest School. Under the direction of our talented teacher, Mrs. Dawn Wilhelm, students from Pre-K through grade 5 develop an appreciation for music through engaging and fun activities.

Program Highlights

• • Interactive Learning: Students learn through rhythm, movement, and various interactive activities that make music enjoyable and accessible.
  • Performances: Lower School students participate in several performances throughout the year, including:
    • Grandparents Day: A fall celebration where students sing and dance to honor their grandparents, who are invited to a reception and classroom visits.
    • Christmas Program: A beloved event where students perform traditional Christmas carols and present a nativity scene, highlighting the true meaning of the season.
    • May Day: Celebrated on the first Saturday in May, this tradition features 7th grade students in formal attire, a May pole dance by 4th graders, and performances by students in grades Pre-K through 6. The day includes lunch, games, and carnival activities, supported by the tireless efforts of parent volunteers, faculty, and students.

Mrs. Wilhelm’s dedication fosters a growing love of music in our students, creating a foundation for lifelong appreciation and involvement in the arts.
