Our Weekly Info: | The Buzzword for this week will still be ARTICULATION. Due to the holiday, not all classes were able to learn the word and I would like everyone to have a chance to participate :) If you've already played...stay tuned for your prize and certificate on Friday!! If you haven't played yet, remember...you can check the Buzzword board and get a card or print one off the website HERE...looking forward to playing this game and watching your musical vocabularies grow every week!!! We continue celebrating out very first Composer of the Month, Antonin Dvorak as we listened to his music and learn facts about his life each class. You can see the facts that they learned about Mr. Dvorak on display outside the music room or on the home page of this website :) Check your child's go home folder for this month's composer fact sheet as well as the directions for how to become a "music detective" and have their work featured on the bulletin board outside the music classroom and on the Music Website! |
General and Performance Music
In the Performance Music world, all of our instrumental lessons and band classes are now back up and running. I am soo excited to get this year started and can't wait to hear all of your improvement and growth as we progress through the year. 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 :)
Ohh...and for my older students, we've been talking a lot about metronomes and this weekend I found an EXCELLENT metronome resource that everyone can use!!! Did you know that Google has a metronome google app (of course they do...) just type "metronome" into your Google search bar in Google chrome and it will show right up. As soon as I figure out how to attach the app to the website I will let you all know :)
