Mozart Month!

January is Mozart month in music class. Mozart was born on January 17th, 1756.

The students have enjoyed learning about his life and listening to his music. 

Feel free to ask them about his exciting childhood and his tragic death. 

Here are the pieces we will cover this month:

12 Variations of Twinkle, Twinkle

We have also been talking about percussion instruments and the 3 S's: Shake, Strike, and Scrape.

Q 2 Grades: Jupiter Glitch

There was a glitch in Jupiter that skewed the K-2 Music grades for the second quarter.

Almost all of the students incorrectly received 2s in multiple categories.

We have corrected the problem and a mass email should be going out with a link to the corrected grades.

I am sorry for any alarm this may have caused.

Thank you for your patience.
