Welcome to another great year of wonderful learning experiences in music class!

Dear Discovery students and parents:
 My name is Norma G. López and I will be the MUSIC teacher for middle and high school during this year.  

I graduated from the National School of Music of Tegucigalpa, Honduras. I have 
21 years of teaching experience in the music field. I play guitar, accordion, bass guitar and piano. I am one of the Choir Directors too. 
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in English Teaching and a Master’s Degree in School Management, both from The Honduran National Pedagogical University.  

My expectations for this year are to lead my students to experience a wonderful trip though the music world, and of course, let them know the beautiful and rich Honduran musical culture. In addition, they will learn how to play a musical instrument in class.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The class will be evaluated through projects, presentations, written quizzes, and instrument performance.

Engrade:
Engrade is the on line platform used to keep track of the class grades and attendance. Grades will be uploaded once a week. It is a very useful tool of communication between parents, teachers and students. 
Blog: 
The class blog will be updated every Monday morning. It will be necessary to read it at least once a week to check assignments and the class activities.  

I am open to any suggestions and help from you. Please feel free to contact me atnlopez@discoveryschool.edu.hn or make an appointment through the office.
