Our Weekly Info: | The Buzzword will continue to be SOUSAPHONE so that all of our students have a chance to participate in the game. Do you know what that means? Can you find the answer? I'll give you a hint....it is VERY closely related to some information we shared about this month's Composer of the Month, John Phillip Sousa!! 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!!! This month we have a special Composer of the Month Feature!! For the first time, ever, we will be saluting two different composers this month!! Our first composer comes from the Romantic Period and was highly influential in the genre of american patriotic music....Mr. John Phillip Sousa!! Our second composer of the month comes from right here in the Amagansett community....by request from Greta from First Grade, we will also be saluting her father, composer Carter Burwell this month!! A special thank you to Izzy and Alexander from Kindergarten for bringing in our first composer facts this month!! You can see the facts that the children have brought in about Mr. Sousa and Mr. Burwell 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 :) |
