APRIL 6th at 6:00PM.
Please mark this important change on your family calendar and, since it's nice and early, let all of your spring sports coaches know to keep the date free of any games and / or practices as all students in grades 3 - 6 are involved in this concert and will need to be there to have the best concert ever :)
Our Weekly Info... | Thank you to all who participated in the Buzzword Game last week including: Clemens (1), Chloe (5), Isabelle (2), Macy (2), Johana (1), Graysen (1), and Kyle (5). The Buzzword was: REFRAIN, which means: "The line or lines that are repeated in music in the chorus of a song" (submitted by Clemens, Grade 1) The new Buzzword is VERSE. Do you know what that word's musical definition is? Can you look it up? Join the fun by completing this week's Buzzword Challenge!! We've continued to learn about our composer of the month George Frideric Handel 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! |

Also, in case you are interested in more detailed information about your child's monthly music curriculum, be sure to visit their "Curriculum Guide Section" after selecting their grade level because all grades / programs February Curriculum Outlines have now been posted :)
The Performance Music classes have a lot going on, too. Both Beginning and Concert Band have received new music and are starting to prepare for the Spring Concert. Play Along recordings of some of the selections are available for students to begin practicing with. You can find all sorts of important information about the Band Programs HERE. The music schedule has also been adjusted to allow for NYSSMA lessons to begin. Check out the new schedule here and be sure to mark your child's new lesson date and time on your family calendar. You can also visit the Festivals Page for more information about NYSSMA as well as play along and sing along tracks to help your child practice for this prestigious event :) NYSSMA Students will be having their solo tests this week. Please be prepared to show me that you are working hard and ready for the festival so that I can register you.
