Hello!
I'm Mrs. Ahlborn and I teach K - 4th grade general music and 5th -8th grade orchestra.  Almost the entire school!!  I love music and sharing it with Reagan Academy students!  
 
5th and 6th grade orchestra students will use the book String Basics Book 1 by Jeremy Woolstenhume and Terry Shade. The 7th/8th graders will be using String Basics Book 2 and String Basics Book 3. 

I love working with my students and watching them grow!

Canon In D by Pachelbel performed by the Reagan Philharmonic Orchestra

We loved playing this song and wanted to share it as Thanksgiving gift!

Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saens arranged by Whistler and Hummel

Just a fun way to perform this piece! Special thanks to Josh Millward for filming and editing! Happy Halloween!

Country Gardens Folk Song performed by 6th grade Orchestra

This is one of our ensemble pieces where we have different harmony parts playing together. Students had to make sure their bowing matched the rest of their section and that they stayed together as a group. Great job!!
