August Music Update

We are off to a great start in the music room.
Our scholars have been working heard to learn and practice the music room procedures. 
The music room expectations are on the front wall over my white board. In the beginning of the year, we like to say them together every class to help us have a successful lesson. 

*Conversation starter:  See if your scholar can tell you what they are. They all start with "In this room we..."*

In Kindergarten we have been practicing our 4 voices and learning when to use each of them. 
We have also been marching, dancing and singing. 

*Conversation starter:  See if your scholar can demonstrate their 4 voices*

1st graders get to join the 2nd graders in learning about composers this year!

*Conversation starter: Ask your scholar if they can tell you what a composer is*


 2nd graders have been reviewing their Perfect Singing Posture (PSP) and taking deep breaths when they are singing. 

*Conversation starter: Ask your scholar if they can show you their PSP and how they breathe correctly.*


This month's composer is Mr. Vivaldi. 
Here is my Vivaldi playlist. Vivaldi Playlist
This week we learned that he played the violin and composed The Four Seasons. We will be listening to one season a week. 

*Conversation starter: Ask your scholar which seasons we've listened to so far*


See you Thursday the 15th at curriculum night!
