4th Grade Recorder Extra Help Video

Hi Everyone!

A student requested the audio music for silver belt or Take Me Out to the Ballgame to practice with at home so I made this extra help video! It can also be found under important links on the right side of my blog page. Perfect for opening day for the Red Sox which is less than two weeks away!

Enjoy! Mrs. Mac

4th Grade Chorus Parmenter - sneak peek! 
"Turn the World Around" 
Here we are just beginning to add two part harmony to this fun Jamaican song!


K Mrs. Forde's Class Parmenter
"Valentine Rap"
This was so cute, I just had to share! Kindergarten reviewed their chanting voice and made the connection that rapping is really the same thing as chanting! Students also tried to move on the macro beat which is a key concept in K!


JFK 5th Grade Chorus
Vocal perc/Beat Boxing warm up
This is a great work out for the diaphragm and brings me back to my collegiate a cappella days!:)


GOALS JFK 
"The Sled"
This is a great song to explore beat, form, phrasing, etc. I use it in K-3. This was the first day trying out our smaller parachute in GOALS!

Parmenter 3rd Grade Chorus
"Try Everything"
Here is a sneak peek at our spring concert song! I think this is going to be a show stopper!

March Culture of the Month!
Ireland
This month we will be doing our own Irish jig while also exploring some authentic Irish instruments. I love showing the below video because it highlights some of the instruments I bring in! Enjoy!
