7th Grade "Form" Activity Pictures

The students determined the form of a song and "presented" the form through a choreographed dance. Each section of the song was performed with different dance moves.

This week in Music:

The students will continue to learn how to play piano using two hands simultaneously. There will be a 16 point performance assessment Wednesday. Following the assessment, students will be able to compose their own song on the keyboards. They will compose an eight measure song using both treble and bass clef and perform it for the class on Friday.

Mrs. Rickert's Profile

I am very excited for another great year at Lakeview! This will be my 11th year at Lakeview teaching General Music, directing the Choir, and co-directing the Spring Musical. I received a bachelor’s degree in music education from Illinois State University and a master’s degree in music education from Northern Illinois University. Prior to working at Lakeview, I taught for two years in Berwyn, IL. Outside of Lakeview, I direct the Freshman Select Choir at Downers Grove South High School. As far as performing experiences, I have been a member of singing groups, such as New Classic Singers and Acappellago, and I taught Ballroom Dance for 10 years at Celebrity Dance Studio.
