Music Concerts and More

 Our music classes are excited to present a Veteran’s Day Program on Nov. 17^th at 10 a.m.

These same classes get to present a Christmas Musical, the last week of school in December.

Also, we’ve been asked to perform in the concert called Hope Of America this spring.  An extended block will be offered for this exciting opportunity. 

The following is a description of the courses offered this block in music:

Music Discoveries (1st and 2nd grade)  - Students will be engaged in a variety of singing activities that nurture the natural development of the singing voice. In this class, students will experience tempo through listening to and moving to slow and fast beats. Students will also explore dynamics through many different classroom activities.  This class will have the opportunity to sing in the school’s Veteran’s Day Program.   

Group Piano, Level 1 (4^th-6^th) – This class will sing in the school’s Veteran’s Day Program.    Additionally, students will learn how to read and play music on the piano. This class will incorporate the middle C position method along with intervallic reading. Individual practice time is a part of group piano that will require headphones.  I have headphones available that will be sanitized after each use, but if you’d like to have your own headsets please label them and they will be placed in the student practice folders.  The Dollar Tree has headsets available for $1.00 and they have $1.00 binders that also will be used in this class. 

Group Piano Level 2 (4-6^th)– This is an extension of the first group piano class. Students will continue learning to play the piano through the intervallic and middle C approach. This class will also sing in the school’s Veteran’s Day Program. Individual practice time is a part of group piano that will require headphones.  I have headphones available that will be sanitized after each use, but if you’d like to have your own headsets please label them and they will be placed in the student practice folders.  The Dollar Tree has headsets available for $1.00 and they have $1.00 binders that also will be used in this class. 

A Different Beat – This class will sing in the school’s Veteran’s Day Program.    Students will experience a variety of songs and singing games, chosen to develop the voice in a healthy manner. In this class, students will be playing recorders, xylophones, ukuleles, piano, and boomwhackers.  Students will also gain an appreciation for music through movement, listening, and an in depth look at worldwide musical cultures. 

Music Moves Me - Students will learn to create their own musical style through improvising and practicing a wide variety of instruments and song literature. Students will also develop skill in balancing vocal and instrumental timbre in a group performance.  Many instruments will be played in this class including the ukulele, piano, recorders, and percussion instruments. This class will sing in the school’s Veteran’s Day Program and the Christmas Musical.
