Billy Gowers

Director of 6-12 Vocal Music

All students in Grades K-6 at Greenwood are encouraged to develop musical expression through singing. Classes are offered two to three times per week and use singing, movement, classroom instruments and listening examples to engage students, develop music literacy and promote a life-long appreciation of music. Students also have the opportunity to participate in school-wide or classroom performances during the year. An appreciation and respect for diversity will be enhanced through the study and performance of music of various eras, genres and cultures.

All secondary students have the opportunity to enroll in choir. No audition is required, and students may split time between choir, Yearbook, or other subjects as their schedule allows. Since choir is a performance-based class, public concerts will be presented several times during the year. In addition, students who qualify may participate in district honor choirs.
