I just wanted to let everyone know that the November Music Curriculum Guides have been posted online in case you are interested in learning a little more about what your child is learning about in the various areas of the music program. The easiest way to find the curriculum guide for the program that your child participates in is to go to the "About" tab at the top of the page (or click here) and then click on your child's grade level and / or performance music ensemble. From there, you will see a green button somewhere at the top of the class home page that will say "Monthly Curriculum Overviews." Clicking that green button will take you to the Curriculum Overviews for your child's program. New curriculum guides will be posted each month :)
General and Performance MusicThere will be lots of special Halloween activities this week in each area of the General Music Program, so be sure to check HERE to find out specific information about your child's class! Especially exciting will be a special "Witches Brew" activity for Kindergarten and First Grade to coincide with a Witches Brew song that we learned last week. Wednesday will bring us into November and will bring our Pre-K classes into the famous "Turkey Wobble!" Our Kindergarten, First, Second, and Third Grade classes will also begin preparations for a special mini play and songs about Thanksgiving to be shared at this year's Thanksgiving Feast! Be sure to check out the new ways that Pre-K classes will be connecting music with literacy and their classroom weekly themes, and the new song of the month for our Second, Third, and Fourth Grade Orffestras!! In the Performance Music world, all of our instrumental lessons and band classes are doing GREAT!! Students are off to an excellent start remembering their instruments, music and practice sheets and have been earning tons of points for their individual classes in Battle of the Bands. Right now, Fourth Grade is in the lead, but watch out....Fifth and Sixth Grade still have plenty of time to catch up to you :) Special CONGRATULATIONS go out to the following students who achieved their White Belts in Band Karate this week: Mae (4) Natalia (4) Keep up the GREAT work and can't wait to add more names to our Band Karate Wall of Fame!!! Besides working on our "light themed" holiday concert, the Chorus is busy preparing a vast repertoire of American Patriotic Songs to share with you at our Veteran's Day Celebration on Thursday, November 9th at 8:00 AM. Please spread the word and be sure to join us as we honor our Veterans and those currently serving and thank them for all they do to keep us safe! If you know of a Veteran or Active Duty Service Person who would like to be honored at this celebration, please contact the school and provide us with their contact information so that we may reach out to as many people as possible!! Here's the note that went home last week about this special event in case you missed it. Two brand new exciting ensembles will begin this week!! We will be meeting for these ensembles during recess and all interested students are welcome to come learn more about them during this week's introductory meetings. Tuesdays at Recess ---------- "Select Signers" Open to students in 3rd through 6th grade who would like to work on harmony parts for our Chorus concert repertoire as well as some other special performances Thursdays at Recess -------------- "Wake-Up Amagansett Band" Inspired by my friends at Chlemsford Middle School in Massachusetts and their "Friday Lobby Band" (yes, google them, they are AWESOME) this ensemble is open to students in grades 4 through 6 and will be performing selections to entertain our audience as they arrive for each Wake-Up Amagansett Presentation. We will be learning songs to coordinate with the Wake-Up Amagansett theme, starting with holiday music to ring in the holiday season at the December Wake-Up Presentation. Parents, it might be a good idea to save your child's band webpage so you can reference it for important information including practice sheets, band repertoire play alongs, the instrumental program google calendar, and, my favorite, our Remind App :)
Stay tuned for updates about your child's performance date and time slot as they come in :) Check out the new schedule here and be sure to mark your child's new lesson date and time on your family calendar. Don't forget to stay connected by joining our Music Department Google Calendar and our Remind App reminders for Beginning and Concert Band Students. Mrs. Kamp :)

With the change of seasons and winter coming, I know my family has been taking some time to go through our closets and sort out clothes that no longer fit. If your family is doing the same thing and you happen to come across any "Concert Dress" that no longer fits your children, I would like to invite you to send it into school to help build our new Concert Clothes Closet. This wardrobe of sharable items is going to be established in the music room to aide any family who is in need of concert dress and cannot find it. Items we will be storing include: Boys and Girls Black Pants Black Leggings Black Skirts Black Dresses Boys and Girls Black Dress Shoes White Collared Shirts Boys Black Ties Thank you in advance for any donations you might provide and please spread the word so that everyone knows we are building a "Concert Closet." ~~~~ Mrs. Kamp I'm very excited to share two brand new Music Department offerings with you!!
