Welcome Back!!!

I hope everyone had a great summer and enjoyed sleeping in, having fun in the sun, and spending time with family and friends!  I am looking forward to another great year at Lakeview!  


Music Curriculum:  We are going to begin the year with a focus on Rhythm.  We will begin by review notes and values, then progress to reading and performing rhythms.


Is your child interested in joining Choir??? 
If so, they should attend the first meeting on Friday, September 4 at 7:10 am in the band room. For more information, your child can get a permission slip and rehearsal calendar from me in the music room (room 14.)

Ukulele Unit

I can't believe how fast the year went!  I have enjoyed working with my second semester classes immensely, and wish the 8th graders much luck as they enter high school.  For our last few weeks of music, we have a lot of fun in store.  This winter we purchased 10 Ukulele's.  We started playing Ukulele's in class this week and will continue through next week.  This week the kids learned how to tune, strum, and play basic chords.  Next week we will expand our repertoire to include new chords and songs with more chord changes.
