MUSIC
with Mrs. Huddle

March Update:

March is Music In Our Schools Month® (MIOSM®)!  Music has a lasting positive impact in our lives. The positive impact on music in the lives of our students lasts a lifetime. Therefore, the education and cultivation of music in our youngest members of society, our students, is paramount.  We are lucky at Oakview to have an #owlsome administration, staff, and community that supports our music program! 

Our March song is “Boots of Shining Leather”, a folk song from Hungary.  Classes are learning about the song and singing it as a 2-part canon.  We are celebrating Women’s History Month with our featured composer/musician Dolly Parton.  She was born in rural Tennessee and went on to become one of country music’s biggest stars.  She has had twenty-five No. 1 Billboard songs, many she wrote herself.  She is also known for her philanthropy work, distributing over 100 million free books to children all over the world.  

As part of our MIOSM® celebration, students are participating in Quaver’s Music Madness, a bracket style tournament in which students listen and evaluate songs and vote on their favorites.  The winning song will be announced on April 1!

OWL CHORUS: Reminder, there is NO REHEARSAL on March 5th and March 19th!

Musically,

Ms. Huddle
