Meadowview February Newsletter, 2010
Dear Parents,
4th grade is now working on hearing meter and form. We are listening for large sections in music with parts that sound the same or different. We will be studying 11 compositions, listening for style and learning about the composers, instruments, form, tempo, dynamics and meter. We will begin working on our spring program the later part of February. Please mark your calendars! 4th grade program will be April 15, 2010 at the High School at 7:00 P.M.
4th grade choir began January 12 and will meet every week on Day 2. I have about 60+ signed up for choir and they sound great! They will perform on the spring program.
5th graders are expanding their recorder skills. We will soon be working on the C scale. Please encourage them to bring their recorders home and be sure to mark their green practice sheets! Some students are coming unprepared to class, with no recorders. After practicing, students should put the recorder right back in the backpack so they’re ready to go. We are also studying 11 compositions and are learning about different styles of music. Some are very different from any they have heard before! 6 music students will be chosen to compete in the music listening contest in May.
5th grade choir is working hard on the songs for the Winona songfest on April 16. T shirts are ordered. I will need chaperones for that trip. Additional information will come as I hear more.
Musically,
Mrs. Bright
