Peter and the Wolf!

Happy Belated Birthday to our Musician of the Month, Sergei Prokofiev!

April 23, 1891

Looking forward to welcoming the RI Philharmonic June 12th to perform Prokofiev's most famous piece, "Peter and the Wolf!"

This week in 3rd grade at both schools, I will kick start their Instruments of the Orchestra Unit and it will culminate with RI Philharmonic's performance and a special visit by cellist, Brent Selby!

Mrs. Mac is back!

Starting this Monday I'm back and excited to finish up the year with everyone! I can't believe we have only about 6 weeks until our concerts and 9 weeks until the end of the year! Get your recorders and singing voices ready because we have work to do!

Proud To Be An American

Singing Auditions

If you are interested in a singing part. Please rehearse and memorize verse 1 of "American Tears". Auditions will be the week following April vacation during General Music. All solos will be determined by singing this song.

“American Tears”

 Verse 1: Sometimes I think about America.

About her struggles through the years.

I think of people who did what they had to do

With the strength to act through their fears.

Following these auditions a few students may be asked to sing the beginning of the following song as well. No memorization is needed.
