Each grade - music

What are we doing/learning in music - each grade -
Kindergarten - 5th grade will start the music for the spring concert this week with "The Spirit of America".  Kindergarten is learning about tempo.  1st and 6th grades are learning about instruments and instrument families.  1st grade will be seeing Peter and the Wolf.  6th grade will be seeing Stomp.  2nd grade is collecting information about Mozart in the Magic Flute game.  3rd grade loves the stories in the ballads we've been singing (who remembers Don Gato).  4th grade - LOOK OUT!  recorders are starting soon.  5th grade is learning various vocal terms in their singing unit.  7th and 8th grade will be starting history units soon.  7th grade learns about Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and Classical.  8th grade will be starting with 20th and 21st century and then will be looking at a Broadway musical, romantic music and jazz. 

RED, WHITE and BLUE

They are the only colors I can think of for the Spring Concert this year.  The theme - "Let's Sing, America!"  - a compilation of music "Celebrating Our Dreams, Our Symbols and Our Freedom" by John Jacobson, Moses Hogan, Emily Crocker, Audrey Snyder, Cristi Miller, Mac Huff and Tom Anderson.  And of course other songs reflecting American music and Patriotism.  More info coming soon!
