Welcome Back!

Welcome back musicians! It has been a wonderful start to the new school year. All of the classes have been doing some great things. Here's what's happening in music classes this month. Kindergarten has been singing some songs that they already know so they can understand how to use their voices appropriately. They have also been doing some moving around activities. Ask them about Mike the tennis ball. First Grade has started with playing rhythm band instruments. They are learning how to use them properly and how to share them appropriately. Second Grade has started working on songs for their concert on November 6th. It will be held at 6:30 pm at the Franklin Middle School. Third Grade has started reading melodic notation (the notes on the treble staff). We have learned some crazy ways to remember the names of the lines and spaces! Fourth Grade has started playing ukuleles. We will be learning some chords to put together to play songs. Fourth Grade also started the Ukulele Club. I am looking forward to a great year!
