What a busy last 2 weeks we have had in the music room!
Everyone has performed for the school as well as their parents at an evening event. It has been so nice to see everyone---and my boys had fun being at the performances as well!
What's next for the music room?
Kinder/1st: learning some more basic music knowledge
2nd/3rd: working on Boomwhackers and increasing their music reading ability
4th: finishing up their time on the recorders
5th: instrument essay....learning more about an instrument that they may play in the fall!
6th/7th band: back to some concepts that to be completed before the end of the year.
7Music: we're learning about opera!
8th: all students are creating/working on a composition on an instrument of their choice. I can't wait to see what they come up with!
Spring is busy with so many events for the school and it is an exciting time of year! Hope you enjoy the last month or so of school!

Spring performances part 1!
Spring is here!
Performances have begun for the spring and it is so fun to see all of the students performing music at St. Joe's!
Last week we started off with the middle school students either playing instruments or singing songs for the school and their families.
The 7/8 band also had a field trip to Battle Ground last Friday which kept them busy all day! They were tired when they left---they had a 3 hour rehearsal, group adjudication, and band concert all in the same day.
I'm proud of all that these groups have accomplished this spring and we will go back to individual/group work that will take them through to the end of the school year.
Next up: K-5!
Here are the details:
Thursday, May 8th at 9:15am and 6:30pm in the gym
The morning is an assembly so we can perform for the middle schoolers.....
Clothing: uniform for the day, casual spring clothes for the night
There will be songs sung, instruments played, and different styles of music performed!
It has been great to see some of you recently and look forward to seeing more of you next week when the younger students perform!
