5th Grade JFK Special Guests!

Big thank you again to JFK PCC for bringing Eine Kleine Konsort Recorders to Kennedy School!

JFK 5th grade students worked very hard this spring to learn some very challenging pieces to perform with these special guests! This was really a great culmination of the last two years of recorder playing. Our special guests remarked on how advanced our students were and how well behaved. Check out some highlights below!

"I Feel Good" James Brown

"March" from The Nutcracker

"Ode To Joy" Beethoven

Thank you JFK and Parmenter PCC!

With the help of both JFK and Parmenter PCCs I was able to bring in professional cellist, Mr. Selby, to perform for the 3rd grades! It was a great experience to see the different string instruments demonstrated for us! It also helped bring to life my unit on instrument families of the orchestra and illustrate some 3rd grade concepts in science such as sound and vibrations! I look forward to exploring these families more on June 12th with special guests from the RI Philharmonic Orchestra!

Hi Everyone!

The blue belt is a tricky one but remember it's smooth sailing to your black belt once you pass this belt!

More songs can be found on the right side of my blog under important links. Once you click on recorder karate dojo click on streaming audio. The username and password are in your packet. The only song not found on this website is "Who Has Seen the Wind." I'm including it below!

You can do it! Mrs. Mac
