Thanks to the 5th grade drummers for providing today's blog title!
Advanced band really really missed the 6th grade today... did you?? They did their Bb concert scale test today, and learned about how to tune their instruments with the electronic tuner. We also started "In the Hall of the Mountain King". Their assignment is to practice measures 1-33, making sure they have rehearsed the staccato (short) technique.
Beginning Band started with their instruments today! I have 2 flutes, 2 clarinets, 1 trumpet, 1 baritone and 2 percussionists. It is a fairly balanced group, but we sure do miss having a saxophone player! Their assignment today is to practice long tones on the note they learned today. (Trumpets and clarinets "G" and Flutes and Baritone "F") Drummers are practicing 1-5 and making up their own rhythm to perform in class tomorrow. Your first practice card is due NEXT Wednesday, 50 minutes total.
3rd grade finished up their matching worksheet today. What beautiful work you all did!
8th grade bells got two new songs today, and we have progressed to level 2 music. So many key changes, so little time!! Joyful canticle and Holy Jesus think on me. To hear Holy Jesus think on me go to this website: http://www.jwpepper.com/catalog/lsearch in the search category put this number in: 20/1469L, then select MP3 audio. You will need windows media player to play the song.
