Music Wrap-Up

It's hard to believe it's the end of the year! We've still been very productive in music! We had phenomenal concerts last week where students surpassed my expectations! Here are a couple more things we have been up to...

Music Show and Tell!

We had many talented performers at JFK and Parmenter. Here are a couple of highlights!

Two third graders at Parmenter. My first cello and violin duet!

Click here to see see a JFK fourth grade and first grade brother and sister perform a song from India for us! So cool that I had to have them perform for Mr. Cool!

Canada!

Here is a French Canadian dance called "Les Saluts". Students really enjoyed listening for the fermatas in the music. I tried to get a few classes that I have not been able to feature yet. Enjoy!

So sad to be seeing my kindergarteners go this week! I love their enthusiasm! During their last class this week I read the book Violet's Music by Angela Johnson. Students should have brought home their own covers they created this week. I like to leave them with the reminder that music can be made or listened to anywhere! Not just in a half hour once a week. And you don't need big fancy instruments to do so. Have a great summer kindergarten and see you in the fall!

Stay tuned for a French Canadian dance!

 

End of the Year - Music Show n' Tell!

Parmenter and JFK end of the year music show n' tell will be next week during your child's music class!

Some important notes:

1. This is completely optional.

2. This is for students who would like to show a song they learned in piano lessons or other instrument lessons, sing a favorite song they learned at home, or maybe bring in and share a special instrument!

3. I do not make a big deal about this in Kindergarten but if you get this message and think your child has something special to share by all means please let them know!

4. All sharing must be musical! While dancing is very musical I've had to eliminate this option for time sake.

5. Please keep all songs to one minute or under.

Thank you! Mrs. Mac
