Kindergarten- Here is the Beehive, Muffin Man, Singing in pitch, steady beat, and listening is our focus in music.
1st grade: The Farmer and the Dell, we are working on pitch matching, steady beat, tempo, dynamics, and listening
2nd grade: Brown Bread and Butter, working on pitch matching, steady beat.
3rd grade-Choir Chimes, students will begin to learn about the instrument and start to play pieces in a group in which they will be responsible for their individual note. We are working on treble clef mastery and counting practice. When we come back from Spring Break, I want them to perform their chime pieces at Mass.
4th grade- Improvising and Creating with Recorders, we are working on improvising and creating, mastery of Treble Clef and Mastery of counting rhythms. Our fourth graders will be in the 5th grade band next year. They are going to start later in the month trying instruments out to see what they think will fit best for them. Please talk with your children, if there is an instrument you would like them to try. If you have someone in your family who has an instrument collecting dust, it would be great to pull that out and if nothing else have someone else in the band use it. We will be planning a parent meeting in May so that all parents are informed of expectations and plans for the upcoming year.
5th grade- Preparing for our concert on April 14th, We will continue to work on Treble and Bass Clef reading, counting mastery. Students need to start thinking of what their music choice will be for middle school. They can be in Class Choir, this is singing only in class; Performance Choir, this is our Mass choir and they have concerts and field trips. Guitars is an option, students must take private lessons elsewhere to be apart of this group. Band is the other option. If they wish to do band and choir, we can help them with going to each class 2 days a week.
Guitar Class- Continued work for their concert on April 14th at 9:00 A.M.
Class Choir Class- Our focus is on composers in music, rhythms, and singing
