Our Weekly Info: | The Buzzword for last week was MINOR SCALE and it means: "A seven note scale in which the third note is a minor third (three semitones) above the first and the fifth note is a prefect fifth (seven semitones) above the first." Thank you to Lola (2) and Johanna (2) for playing last week's Buzzword Game!! Our new Buzzword is EMBOUCHURE. Do you know what that means? Can you find the answer? If you would like to pay the Buzzword game this week, 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!!! today is our last day celebrating Composer of the Month, Franz Liszt. You can see the facts that the children have brought in about Mr. Liszt on display outside the music room or on the home page of this website :) Be sure to check your child's red folder tomorrow to learn all about Mr. November and become a music detective once more :) |
General and Performance Music
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 :)

Keep up the GREAT work and can't wait to add more names to our
Band Karate Wall of Fame!!!
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.
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.
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.
