terms, times and today

Terms, Times and Today - 5th, 7th and 8th grades.
Our 5th grade has been learning about different vocal terms and can use those term correctly to describe music.  Diction, round, Scat Singing, A cappella, harmony, unison, partner songs are just a handful of words we've  been discussing.
7th grade studies early music.  They are creating games to show knowledge of medieval, baroque and renaissance time periods in music and sharing them with their classmates.  They come up with some tough questions.  Soon we will be studying the classical time period and Mozart.
8th grade - I let them tell me what's 21st music.  They have completed their reports and will be presenting them to the class over the next couple weeks.
AND TODAY - MARK YOUR CALENDARS - our concert is late this year - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10th. It's all about America and American music.
