This school year students will take part in a variety of musical activities--from singing, to playing instruments, and even composing (using instruments & technology)!
First quarter of 2014-2015 school year
6th Grade: Human Assembly Line
Students are working in small groups to create a movement piece based on an assembly line. Students move in their "stations" for 4 beats to move their product along. The entire cycle must be completed in 32 beats. Each group will be accompanied by a small piece from Music For Children, performed on recorder by the children. It's shaping up to be a uniquely creative performance!
5th Grade: The Storm - A Musical Composition:
Students are working in small groups to create a composition that will depict a storm. Upon completion, students will hand their completed piece to another group to perform. Will the composers' vision be realized? Stay tuned to find out!
4th Grade Recorder:
Students in 4th grade are continuing their study of recorder. Not only are they working indecently through the Recorder Karate curriculum, we have been working on a piece of music, "Buffoons," to be performed as a class.
