Hello October!
Check out R-E-S-P-E-C-T from our lady the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin for our virtue of the Month. Highway of Heroes by the Trews is making sound waves in our music room as we prepare for our Remembrance Day singing of it in November. GLEE CLUB has begun for students in Grades 4-6. We meet in the music room Wednesdays at 11:55. Students will be performing a song at the Remembrance Day Assembly November 10th @10:30. Here are the lyrics and score to "Seek Peace" : Lyrics. Score. Classes in Grades 3-6 work towards "Instrument Bingo". This means spending a class learning about a special musical instrument. Examples include: OBOE, HARP, ACCORDION, GONG... students can share with you what they've learned! Grade 3 Grade three students will be exploring meter, beat, phrasing, form, movement, xylophones and drama with Boris Berlin's March of the Goblins. Grade 4 Grade four students have been working on differentiating major and minor sounds. We are creating a "Minor Scare" story. Students are adding in minor chord patterns and sound affects to go with their story part. We have also been exploring movement to "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Peer Gynt. Grade 5 Grade five students are wrapping up their Ukulele Unit. They have been working in small groups on developing their skills at playing and singing in a group with the Ukulele. Some of the chords students are playing include: C, Am, F, G, Em and D. Songs include: Clouds, The Duck Song, Riptide, Warriors, Highway of Heroes, Toujours plus haut and many others. Grade 6 Students in Grade 6 are beginning their exploration of melodies on the Ukulele. They are creating an "Acronym Song" to help learn the open string notes of the Ukulele as well as practicing their skills recording music on the treble clef and TAB notation systems.
