Our Weekly Info: | We're just about winding down with the Buzzword for this school year! I'd like to thank everyone who participated in our weekly challenges! It has been soo wonderful watching your musical vocabularies grow! Check back in September for more fun with Music Buzzwords!! We will be introduced to our May composer of the month, Richard Wagner, as we listen to his music and learn facts about his life each class. 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! |
Parents are encouraged to check their child's music class page to see all of the new things we will be learning in music class this month! Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4 students will be busy preparing songs, rhymes, and poems to share with friends and family at their Graduation Celebration on Monday, June 24th! We hope to see you there! Kindergartners and First Graders will continue learning the building blocks of music and working with a mix of melody and rhythm days where we will use the Rhythm Band Curriculum and the Pre-School Prodigies Curriculum to build our musical vocabularies and skills! On our Rhythm Day, we will be taking a game that we've been playing through Pre-School Prodigies and composing our own variation of it. On Melody Day, we'll be expanding our work with the pitches of the major scale and bringing more notes into our chord study. How exciting!! Second Grade is busy adding new recorder karate songs to their repertoire! We've begun working on our new Black Belt song, "The Ode to Joy" and are excited for all of the new musical knowledge it will bring us!! Make sure to ask your child about it when they come home and check out the Recorder Resources tab on their page to help with your at home practice :) Third Graders will be back in action as their class Orffestra, mastering a new song and some special new skills this month!! third Graders are even going a bit further and are working on two different orffestrations that we hope to share with you at future "Wake-Up Amagansett" Performances. We're adding orffestra to go along with "De Colores," a song we're learning in Spanish class with Mrs. Tracy!!! Fourth Graders have begun a special project based on the song, "I Grew Up With" by Soda Speak. The children have been listening to the song and identifying all of the things listen in the song from the early 1980's and 1990's and why the artist might have chosen to include these things in a song about his childhood. For the next phase of the project, each child will brainstorm a list of significant things from their own childhood and create their own, "I Grew Up With" songs based on today's generation!!! | General Music Classes |
Performance Music Classes: | The combined 4th - 6th Grade Concert Band will be performing selections at our Flag Day Celebration on FRIDAY, JUNE 14th at 9:00AM.

IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO ALREADY, PLEASE RETURN YOUR AMAGANSETT SCHOOL CONCERT SHIRT TO MRS. KAMP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT THEY CAN BE CLEANED FOR OUR NEXT PERFORMANCE Fourth graders will be continuing their work as the Amagansett School Beginning Band and moving forward with their work in Band Brilliance. They will also be preparing selections for our Flag Day Celebration on Friday, June 14th! Fifth and Sixth Grade Concert Band students are working through their repertoire for this year's Spring Concert. Check out the practice resources on their class web page and let's get back into practicing!! Also, a reminder that the Band Karate Belt Challenge stills stands... can anyone besides Natalie (6) achieve Black Belt this year?????? Chorus class will be closing out the year by watching a video of the Spring Concert and completing a concert critique assignment. Be sure to ask your young performer what they thought of both their own performance in the concert and that of the group as a whole! |
