Week of September 14-18
After a busy week back we are ready to dive into music making! This week in choir we will be working on posture, breath support, and how to read our music. We will be learning and playing a game song that will help us visually and aurally recognize so and mi.
Last week violinists learned the parts and strings of their instrument, how to hold it, and the notes D and A. This week they will be learning to read and play G, F#, and E, totaling 5 notes already! Students in violin class will always have violin on Mondays and Thursdays and every other Wednesday. This Wednesday they will not have violin. Please help your student to remember the days that they need to bring their violin.
Students learning violin during recess and PCN will meet this Tuesday and Thursday, although our regular meeting time will be Tuesdays and Fridays.
I am trying to put together a group for students who already play string instruments to play together, although finding a convenient time for everyone is a bit of a challenge. As of now, the best time may be before school, more information to follow.
As part of our music industry unit, this week students will be exploring what kinds of jobs and roles exist within the music industry and what types of skills are needed for each.
