January Music News, 2010
4th Graders will be finishing up on their recorders. They will be performing their compositions and will need to be able to play them without the note names written in. This will require extra practice so please encourage that. Please send back the green practice sheets you have been signing by January 25th. 4th grade will also be singing Dr Martin Luther King songs and learning about forms: AB, ABA and Rondo. We will also be working on music listening skills.
4th grade choir will begin on Day 2 second semester so look for a sign up sheet for that soon. The only time I have is over the noon hour. It will require students missing noon recess once a week. Regular attendance is expected.
5th Graders will be starting recorders January 13, so please remind them to be prepared with their recorders on music days. We will be alternating recorders with listening lessons, studying 11 compositions, their composers, form, style, instruments, and mood. In April, 6 students will be chosen to compete in a regional music listening contest, similar to a spelling bee.
5th grade choir members will be preparing for their songfest trip on Friday, April 16, to Winona State University. It is a fun day with boys and girls singing for and singing with 500 area choir members. I will need chaperones for this trip, please, if you have time to volunteer.
Musically,
Mrs. Bright
