After warming up with vocalises, we will discuss the rhythmic figures, form, and words included in our performance pieces. Be ready to sing! 4th grade - Congratulations on a fabulous performance at our program Tuesday night. I am so proud of you! This week, we will continue our musical studies by learning, counting, and clapping common-time rhythmic figures. These rhythmic figures will include whole, half, dotted-half, quarter, eighth, and sixteenth notes, as well as whole, half, and quarter rests. 5th grade - This week, after warming up with vocalises, we will continue studying musical concepts associated with our December concert music.

Also, your recorder money ($2.50) was due Friday, October 30th. If you have not yet brought your money to class, do so a.s.a.p.

It's going to be a great year! We will be learning many special musical skills, and will be studying lots of fun and diverse musical subjects. My hope for my students this year is that I instill in them not only a love of music, but a desire to participate in musical groups at the middle and high school settings. ~Ms. Parks~
