Kindergarten Concert!

 Kindergarten Concert!

The Kindergarten students were all a buzz at their Bee concert on April 27.    They enjoyed sharing their work, dances, poems, and songs with an audience.  They sang Bee-utifully and had a wonderful time!

It was so neat to see everyone dressed up in their Black and Yellow!

Grade 1/2 Wild Symphony!

 Wild Symphony

Our Wild Symphony work is complete!  

I have enjoyed watching how engaged the Grade 1/2 students have been as we have explored this book's characters, instruments and the Musical learning that has happened along the way.

Wild Symphony books have been sent home as the students are anxious to share them with you.

Rondo Alla Turca by Mozart - Grade 3/4

 Rondo Alla Turca - Fun With Composers

The grade 3/4 classes have been listening, singing and dramatizing  with Rondo Alla Turca by Mozart.

We have been using the Fun With Composers program.  The creater of this program (Deborah Ziolkoski) writes fictional stories to accompany Classical pieces of Music.  The story for Rondo Alla Turca is called The Mystery of King Lou.

After listening to the Music and the story, the students dramatize the story through movement, dance and singing.

Below is the link for Rondo Alla Turca if your child would like to show you our work from the classroom.

Music Updates for after Spring Break

Hello LBS families,

In the weeks after Spring Break we will be working on the following in Music:

Grade 5/6 - We have finished the Recorder Karate portion of our Recorder Unit.  After Spring Break we will be spending 2-4 Music Classes creating Recorder Compositions using the notes B A G, and performing our compositions for the class.  Recorders will be sent home when this work is finished.

Grade 3/4 - We will be moving, singing and playing instruments to some well known pieces of Classical Music.

Grade 1/2 - We will be finishing our work with Dan Brown's Wild Symphony as we are almost at the end of the book!

Kindergarten - We will begin to practice for our Kindergarten Concert! More information to follow.

Have a Wonderful Spring Break,

Recorders - Grade 5/6

Recorders - Grade 5/6 

Grade 5/6 has made great progress on Recorders already!  They have learned a few GAB songs and we have been focussing on playing the notes accurately, maintaining a steady tempo, keeping our left hand on top and playing with good tone.

There is a lot of enthusiasm and they are eager to learn the songs to try for their recorder belts.
