FINE ARTS NIGHT IS COMING!
In the evening on April 22nd (Wednesday classes) and April 23rd (Thursday classes), we will have the opportunity to share a sample of what we've learned this year with our families and friends! The event features an art show, poetry recitations, and music performances, and will be held in the lobby and sanctuary of Legacy Chapel. Fine Arts Night is the culmination of our vocal, recorder, and ukulele studies, and attendance is strongly encouraged. I hope to see you there as we celebrate our students' learning!

We will spend the next several weeks studying the music of Mozart! We will explore the different musical themes in "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" and about Rondo form in his Piano Concerto No. 22.
Addionally, we will explore the idea of silence, or rests, in music, and sing Sol-Mi-La melodies.

3rd and 4th Grade
Recorder study has begun! Students will receive a new piece of music each week to prepare for Recorder Karate "belt tests." This is an optional (but fun!) way to practice new notes and skills on the recorder, all while earning new "belts" for our instruments!
We will spend the next several weeks with Aaron Copland's "Hoedown" and his ballet Appalachian Spring.
5th and 6th Grade
5th and 6th Grade
We are in the thick of ukulele study at this point, and our focus has shifted to strumming chords!
The next several pieces of music we are studying have vivid imagery and/or connections to story. I look forward to exploring the connection between music and the imagination in the coming months!

7th and 8th Grade
We are in the thick of ukulele study at this point, and our focus has shifted to strumming chords!
Additionally, we are embarking on an imaginative journey in which I invite students to create stories to accompany pieces of classical music. This is one of my absolute favorite things to teach, and I am so excited to see what everyone brings to the table!
