Compoers in history, we will dicuss what a musician is, and why they write music.  We will listen to Copland, Vivaldi, and Mussorgsky while moving and then draw pictures to depict what each piece is about.

 Mood in music, how does it effect our mood?

Listening as we compare and contact changes in tempo and dynamics.  Finding Repetition and Contrast in musical lines and songs

Students will performed their improvised dances.  Students will create in small groups new questions they will sing.  Students will create songs with the use of body percussion.

Annual Fund Dinner Class 
We are cleaning the dances, you will most likely get an email from me with a video clip for the kids to watch and learn a little dancing.  I told the kids not to worry about spending too much time, it will not be difficult.  Please encourage them to fit in wherever they can.
