Greetings from the Music room!
Although we were disappointed to not be able to perform together for our traditional large-scale holiday program this year, we have worked hard in music class to create a "virtual" performance to share with you! With limitations on singing, we focused on instrumental versions of favorite holiday songs instead! This has allowed us an opportunity to spend time exploring steady beat, rhythms, notes on a staff and new instruments.
All grades (K-5th) focused on a different instrument and have recorded a video demonstrating our musical abilities and growth this year. I'm so proud of how hard all of our students have worked! It is truly a blessing to be able to teach them each and every day.
Enjoy this "virtual performance" and a peek into the musical lives of your children.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bretz
