Music Rules and Expectations 2013-2014 J. L. Francis

Welcome Everyone! My name is Ms. Foreman This is my second year at JLFES This is my fourth year teaching elementary music I love to sing, dance and play the drums.

Everyone can sing! You may not be the next Beyoncé or Michael Jackson but you can sing! Everyone develops their singing voice at different times. Sometimes you can loose it as you get older and then find it again. Singing is all about listening!
