Music Show and Tell!

Music Show and Tell is an opportunity for students to share with their classmates and music teacher musical talents or instruments that they may have or practice at home.

Some examples are: singing part of a song, playing a piano song you learned during piano lessons, bringing in an instrument that your grandparents got you from Ireland, etc.

This is completely optional. Whatever they do it must be something they have prepared at home.

This happens twice a year in December and June.

JFK: Show and Tell is next week.
Parmenter: Show and Tell is next week or in January for fourth graders.

Looking forward to hearing some wonderful talents!

AUSTRALIA!

This month we are featuring Musicians of the Month from Australia! This week I brought in one of Australia's most famous instruments, the didgeridoo! Check out the picture and video below!

JFK 4th and 5th MixCraft/Recorder Projects!

Parmenter 4th graders are currently working on this project as well. Their projects will be done and posted the week before winter break!

What is MixCraft?
Mixcraft 6 is a powerful music production and multi-track recording workstation that comes packed with thousands of music loops and dozens of audio effects and virtual instruments. Mixcraft 6 music recording software enables you to record audio, arrange loops, remix tracks, compose with MIDI and virtual instruments, add effects, score and edit video, and mix and master your tracks to create polished, professional compositions. This program is only for PCs but very similar to GarageBand for Macs.

What were the students' objectives?
*4th: We can perform an 8 measure piece on the recorder using the notes B and A.
*5th: We can perform an 8 measure piece on the recorder using the notes B, A, and G. (Students were able to choose which piece they performed.)
*4th and 5th: We can record, arrange, and evaluate using the program MixCraft.
