Kindergarten:
Composers in history, we will discuss what a musician is, and why they write music. We listened to Mussorgsky's "Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks". We will listen to Copland, and Vivaldi while moving and then draw pictures to depict what each piece is about.
1st grade :
We will listen and identify instrumental, environmental and vocal sounds we hear. We will also dicsuss the importance that these sounds play in our lives daily.
2nd Grade:
Students will be listening as we identify changes in tempo and dynamics in different Instrumental pieces such as "Rite of Spring" by Stavinsky, Shostakovitch's "Symhony No. 9", "Claire De Lune" by Debussy, and "Surprise Symphony" by Haydn.
3rd Grade:
Students will be given a poem and they will put instruments with it to create a music piece.

Recorders!!! Students will practice; Mrs. Eastman's class is working on "Gently Sleep. Ms. Glenn's class, it just playing currently, they have not been through the first song due to scheduling. The mouth pieces can be removed if they want to practice the fingerings, in the event that you prefer no sound. :)

6th Grade:
Students were to research a career in the music field, a few students did not get it finished in class and it is now homework. Please check your child's planner, because it will be in there if you have any homework. We will listen to the pieces of music that the students researched last week, "Blowin in the Wind", "I am Women" and "Yankee Doodle" to see how the songs came about due to society at the time! We were not able to get through the songs this week.
7th Grade:
Students will be playing instruments in stations. The instrument stations will include; Piano, Barred Instruments, and rhythm instruments. Students will have a task to complete at each station which will require them to play the instruments and the music pieces in front of them.
8th Grade:
Students will be improvising music in stations. In groups, they will pick poems and create an instrumental accompaniment to go with the poems. Students will act out card they are given by creating sound effects for each card. Students will use the computers to change or arrange a short song to make it their own.
