Welcome to 2nd Semester Music!!!

This week in music, all grades will be learning about components of rhythm.  6th grade students will be focusing on basic rhythms in simple meter.  7th and 8th grade students will learn how to read and identify rhythms in complex and compound time signatures. All grades will be composing their own rhythms and performing on instruments. There will be a unit test  for all grades on Tuesday, February 3. We will review in class the day prior by taking a "practice test."

Choir is now accepting new members through the end of January! 

If your child is interested in joining choir for 2nd semester, please have them see me in the music room for a permission slip and practice schedule.

It's Ukulele Time!

I can't believe how fast the first half of the year went.  I have enjoyed working with my first semester classes immensely, and I'm sad to see them leave.  However, we have a lot of fun in store for our last week together.  We just purchased 10 ukulele's for the music room and the kids are so excited to be learning to play!  

This week the kids will learn how to tune, strum, and play basic chords.  By the end of the week, the students will be playing a variety of 2, 3, or 4 chord songs.
