It's October!

Greetings from the Music Room!

Sunday- Students singing at the Oct. 3rd mass will need to be in the music room at 11:30 in their school uniform (jumpers or school skirts for girls, please). If you are not going to stay for the Mass please pick kids up by 1:00.

2/3-5th grade is continuing work on their program. Please talk with your child and find out what their character will be for the program. I will need some of your help getting your child's costume together. Kids received their lines this week, so be looking for those also!

This week was the first time I got to see my 6/7 class, and said goodbye to my 6th grade. Middle School's doing a great job!

Pk-2: Great work singing and learning new music skills. Ask your kids about what they are learning :)

Have a great week and as always if you need anything, let me know!

Thank you!

Working Hard

Parents,

Hope you have had a great week! Please check the agendas for next week's lessons and activities! Excitement is growing about classes 2/3-5 music program. Ask your children what their character is and what costumes they will need. We will be working on the music these next few weeks. Next week is the last week with six grade music students, how the time flies! Jubilance Parents, remember the mass on Sunday October 3rd, please have students at the church by 11:15. Keep singing with your kids, Pk-1! They are doing great! Second is working hard on new music skills and knowledge! Any questions, as always let me know!

Thank you!

Hello Again!

Hope everyone had a great week! Please check out the agenda to get more details on what your child is doing. Please be encouraging your kids the importance of singing in church. That is not about how they sound, its about why--because they are there to worship and participate and that is how we do it, through song.

Next week is very exciting for classes 2/3-5th grade because we will be beginning preparation for the Christmas program. I will be looking to you for help in the future with costumes, checking into make sure you child has there lines memorized and other odds and in's.

Jubilance Parents, Please note that on Sunday, October 2nd. The Choir has been asked to sing at the 12:00 mass at Holy Spirit Church, it is part of their grade, so please add it to your calendars :).

This is the second week with sixth graders and can't wait for us to dive into the Asian music culture, the kids will be singing and dancing.

In preschool and Kindergarten, we are working on beginning a repertoire(the list of songs they will know) of music. Have the kids sing to you what they have learned, it is great practice and they will love to showcase it for you!

First and second grades, excluding the 2/3 class are working on Notes, Solfege!

Happy Third Week

Hello Everyone!

I cannot believe we have been in school for three weeks! Time has flown by, I will miss my 8th grade general music students. I am excited to get my 6th grade students in general music next week. Right now in the first quarter all grades work on note recognition and note names. We learn about Solfege...DO, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do. Students are learning new songs for mass, stop in and sing with us on Wednesday's at 8:30. Have a great and relaxing weekend and as always, let me know if you need anything! Thanks!
