Music Share!

Music share week!  This is a time in the school year where students in grades K-5 can share a musical performance with fellow classmates during their music time. This is only an event for the students in the classroom. It is an informance (informal sharing) for students to develop performance and presentation skills. Watch the video with your child if you would like more information! If we do not get to every student in our 45- minute music class time then "music share" will continue into the following week so that all students who want to share will have the opportunity to share.

Some examples of sharing in music: singing a song, sharing a rap, playing piano or any other instrument a student is studying or has learned a song on, singing and dancing to music, or sharing anything learned in our class. Students could also play a melody on a class xylophone or rhythm on the one of the classroom percussion instruments. All musical styles and creative ideas are welcome to the class. It is also encouraged that students share any songs that they have created or learned from home and are special to the student.

It is my hope that every student will choose to participate! However, it is not a requirement to perform. Practicing how to be a respectful and supportive audience member is equally as important in our class. If your student requires an instrument then they should have their instrument tuned and brought to school on Monday. There is a piano in the classroom for those that want to play on the piano.

Thank you for the continued support in your child’s music development! Please email if you have any questions!
