Hello Parents and Students,
Hello Parents and Students,
This link called "Music News" will be the page in which you can check out the latest and greatest "goings on" in music class and chorus (for all of our 4th and 5th graders). I will update this page periodically and will break down our 'news' by grade level.

In 4th and 5th music class, we are continuing our series called "Music Planet", where we have the opportunity to "travel" around the world! We are learning a great deal about the various people and their cultures...very interesting! Also, the students can try their skills at: "BUCKET DRUMMING"! Check out your class page on my website and give it a try.......I know you'll just love it! Also the 4th & 5th graders may check out the lyrics of "The Star Spangled Banner" on my website. We are learning the story behind who wrote it and under what circumstances it was written...very interesting!

In 2nd grade, we are going to be making the transition from “Ta’s and Ti-Ti’s” to actual music notes like quarter and eighth notes! We will also be learning how to use those notes in a rhythm game called “Tic-Tac-Note”! Second graders are also encouraged to take a look at some of the exciting activities on my website. The link to my website is on our music Google Classroom.....have fun!

Kindergarten and 1st graders are enjoying learning about the guitar. We are getting to know our hello song and also how to sing our Do-Re-Mi Scale! We are excited to start learning more about beats as well as the various musical instruments! And I know the kids can not wait to explore "Mr. Caulfield's Musical Neighborhood" on the music website! Rhythm and melody games are always on the agenda as well; we just love coming to music class through Mr. Caulfield's Google Meets and his Music Website!
