With fall arriving, we are moving away from our introductory lessons and moving into learning  music history, theory, and music practicum.

Kindergarten: Just finished learning about the different Latin percussion instruments. Now we are learning about the different instrument classes (Brass, Woodwinds, Strings, and Percussion)

1st Grade: In 1st grade we are learning how to move to music, and how to sing as an ensemble.

2nd Grade: This week we had our first sectionals. Students got to take their music and instruments and began the process of practicing on their own!

3rd Grade: Our 3rd graders just learned the G, A, and B notes on the recorder. They played through their first song "Hot Cross Buns" this week.

4th Grade: Our 4th graders are learning how to tune their ukuleles and how to play their first chord progression on the instruments. They are also learning about the different intervals in music.

5th Grade: This week, the 5th graders learned about music of the middle ages. We are also looking at counting, singing, and clapping rhythms in 2/4 time.

6th Grade: Our 6th grade class is also learning how to tune ukuleles and play their first chord progression. They are very excited to be given the opportunity to learn the instruments and music theory!

7th Grade: After spending last year playing ukuleles, the 7th grade class is now upgrading to the guitar! We are still figuring out how to tune the guitar and how to finger-pick our first chord progression.

8th Grade: We have a large 8th grade class this year! Our two classes are learning the guitar and piano- as well as how to play the two instruments together while singing. This class is turning into a band!
