Week of July 6-10
Welcome back!
Students will have music Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this week.
I will be sending home a registration form Monday asking if your student will be in General Music/Choir or General Music/Violin for 2009-2010 music. It is important that this is returned to me by Friday, July 17 so that I can start organizing scheduling logistics.
Student scholarships are available and will provide students with a violin, book, and lock. Scholarship information is also being sent home Monday. Scholarship essays are due Friday, July 17. Late applications will not be accepted.
This week in music we will be learning a new piece for our concert which is a medley consisting of four popular tunes from the sixties. As always, we will be working on sight-reading, posture, and breath support for singing. We will also be listening to Imagine by John Lennon and discussing the lyrics and how they relate to the social culture of the sixties.
Each music class is in charge of a different aspect of the concert. I have asked girls to start bringing in props and cardboard to paint decorations. Please do not let them bring in anything valuable or sentimental to your family because I cannot assure the security of all items. We will be researching, planning, and creating things that support our music this week!
