This week, our music classes remained fully active and engaging—even though I had very little voice on Tuesday and Friday, and none at all on Thursday! Despite that challenge, instruments were played, songs were sung, dances were learned, games were enjoyed, and a great deal of learning and fun took place.
I am very proud and grateful for our Saint Hilary School students. They truly “came forth” and showed wonderful cooperation and enthusiasm.
We reviewed all of the songs that we have learned in our Be A Recorder Star so far this year. We also added some festive Halloween songs, dances, and activities to our regular lessons. As always, students continued to strengthen their understanding of rhythmic and pitch note names while exploring the joy of music. Next week, we’ll return to our Christmas repertoire!
