This is Miss Hayden's last week here at Lakeview Jr. High.  We wish her well as she graduates from Elmhurst College and enters her career in Music Education.  

6th Grade: Instruments of the Orchestra
This week, the 6th grade student will finish their unit on the Instruments of the Orchestra.  They will be composing music using our new software MixCraft 6 and using classroom percussion instruments. 

7th Grade: A Cappella Music
This week, the 7th grade students will be learning about the history of A Cappella music (singing without instrumental sound.)  They will get to compose A Cappella music using a website called Incredibox.  Later in the week, they will compose their own vocal loops and perform A Cappella for the class in groups. 

8th Grade: Blues Music
Last week, the students created their own Blues Combo in class using the 12 Bar Blues Form.  This week, they will research a famous Blues Musician in pairs and create a fake "Facebook" page (in the form of a poster) about their musician.
