Hello!
Hope that 201 has had a great start for you and your family.
A few items that are getting started in the music room this month:
Kindergarten and 1st grade---they are hearing stories and songs from different countries which will help them with their note reading.
2nd/3rd grade: we are getting ready for another performance! There will be an assembly on Jan. 31 (Grandparents/Special friends day) for our Get Caught folks and then the students will sing a few songs for the audience. They are working hard to get ready to perform in a few weeks!
4th grade: Recorders! We started last week and so far, all are very excited to play. Every student is to bring their recorders home, practice them, and bring them back to school on our music days. Note reading skills are being worked on as well as playing the recorder.
5th grade: Unit on Form--how is our music structured? Carmina Burana (by Carl Orff) will help them out on this unit.
Band students: lots of new concepts/notes are on the way! Be ready for playing quizzes!
7/8 music students: New topic---the Blues. We will learn more about the time period, style, and people who were involved in this groundbreaking style of music.
We are busy this month! It is good to be back from the holidays!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Miller
