Kindergartners listened to the story of Peter and the Wolf today. They thought it was amazing how each instrument went with a person or an animal. Who would have thought that they would even pick up on that yet? Of course, an Oboe and a Duck really do sound the same!
2nd grade learned about the strong and weak beats in music. They each had a chance to come up to the front of the room and play a rhythm that I had given them earlier. Everyone seems to have a great idea of steady beat, and can follow a written and oral rhythm. Way to go 2nd graders!
1st graders listed for me today what has a beat and what doesn't! Can you imagine what they were giving me? Elephants, giraffes and waterfalls! I suppose elephants can have a beat when they walk! What do you think?
Jonah's is loving the new song I passed out... Climbin up the mountain... children! Ask them about it. Any 8th grader will sing the entire song for you all ready!
6th grade bells-18 kids in a class that should have 11-13. Oh we are going to have so much fun this year! Actually it will work out! It will be my first 5 octave choir that I have ever directed! Rock on 6th grade!
Good News choir (3-5) met for the first time this school year, and the choir has a new accompanist this year... Welcome to Mrs. Tirsell! Mrs. Brown is taking the year (or so) off. We learned all of the lovely procedural items, and we sang a few All God's people sing songs, and we started our song for the first church date, September 27th at 8:00
The 4th graders started chimes today! Make sure to ask your student about that They were very excited!
Have a wonderful Tuesday and see you all tonight at the curriculum night!
