Hambright Elementary School
Thank you parents, friends and family for taking the time to bring your child to school early this morning for chorus rehearsal! We had a wonderful and highly successful rehearsal. The students jumped right into our winter concert repertoire and we also practiced some “part independence” by singing a 3 part cannon! I am so proud of these kids and excited to see all that we can accomplish this year!
Check out the cannon here.
The Hambright Elementary 5th and 6th Grade Chorus will meet on Friday mornings from 8:00-8:45 AM in the music room, starting Tomorrow September 29th, 2017. Students are expected to attend all rehearsals and performances as part of their responsibility to the group. Every member of our chorus plays a key role in making our performance a success!
I am so excited to start rehearsing tomorrow! See you at 8am!
What an exciting start to the school year it has been! We have been exploring the world of cannons and partner songs all while having fun along the way.
After learning the song, students worked in small groups to master both the singing of the melody and the playing of the instrumental accompaniment that went with the songs.
Check out these awesome students showing off their musical talents!

Seven years ago when I graduated with my degree in Music Education my little sister gave me this sweater and told me that “Every good teacher needs a tacky teacher sweater.”
I have worked hard to live up to the ‘good teacher’ reputation to go along with a now growing collection of interesting sweaters. Today, on this first picture day at my new school, I started a new tradition with my 6th graders- “Mrs. Brubaker’s Ugly Sweater Selfie”.
Happy Friday, Friends!
Good Evening!
It is that time of year again!

Hello Hambright Family and Friends!
My name is Ashley Brubaker, I am the new music teacher here at Hambright Elementary. I am so very excited to be joining an amazing team of teachers here at Hambright and thrilled to have this opportunity to work with such bright students! This year I hope to not only educate your students, but open their eyes to the vast world of music and its many aspects! During this year I will be covering the following over arching topics:
While teaching these concepts, I will introduce your child to other ways of expressing their ideas with art, movement and imagination. My overall goal is to give your child a quality music educational experience that will help to give them the tools they need to thrive in the fast paced, creativity driven world that we live in.
Thank you so much for supporting your student and their love of learning this school year! I am excited to meet the Hambright community this school year.
