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.

Here is a song many of your children will love singing for you! Every year, I can't resist doing something with this song whether it be singing, playing it on the recorder, moving to the beat, experimenting with different instruments and texture... I could go on!
This is Mrs. Wilmarth's 2nd grade class!
The below video is our first attempt this year in 4th grade chorus at balancing our voices and parts. See if you can hear all three parts in this round!
Parmenter 4th Grade Chorus
JFK 4th Grade Chorus
In all of our choirs, we are working on using common and proper vowel shapes to blend our voices and get a great sound. Here is my 3rd grade chorus at JFK demonstrating the good and the bad in their pop song, "Best Day of My Life." See if you hear the difference!
