Welcome to the Music Room with Ms. Auger. This will be my 25th year as the music teacher at Bell Manor. We will sing, dance, conduct, and learn to read music notation and notes on a music staff. We will play a variety of Orff instruments, including xylophones, metallophones, and glockenspiels along with various non-pitched percussion instruments. 4th-6th grade students will play the recorder, and 5th and 6th will play the ukulele. We will listen to music from around the world and focus on a different composer each 6 weeks. Here you will find important information about performance dates, each unit of study, including padlets that you may visit to listen to music and watch videos from home. These padlets will also contain pictures and videos of class performance that you may view at home to see what your child is learning in music each 6 weeks.
Music Mission
We will become better singers, actors, conductors, composers, musicians, choreographers, dancers, and play instruments including the piano, recorders, drums, xylophones, and other percussion instruments. We will become better thinkers, teammates, leaders and artists by listening, following directions the first time, and by having good self-control.
Strategic Goal
All students will perform and read rhythms per grade level at a level 3 or higher by the end of the year, as measured by the music rubric

Recorders for 4th, 5th and 6th grade students
All 4th, 5th and 6th grade students will need a recorder for music class. Recorders can be purchased on HEB Cash online for $5.00. Click her to purchase https://hebisd.schoolcashonline.com/Fee/Details/18387/191/False/True
Please purchase a recorder for your child in 4th-6th grade before the beginning of the 2nd 6 weeks. I will put your child’s name on their recorder and keep it in the music room in their teacher’s cubby. They may take them home after we begin the recorder unit. That will give me time to go over how to use it, clean it and use it before they bring it home.
If your child already has a recorder, begin bringing them to music the first day of the 2nd six weeks.
