Forte and Piano

We have been having fun learning about our four voices in kindergarten, first grade, and early primary music class!  Our four voices are whispering, yelling, talking, and SINGING! We are also learning about loud and soft (or forte and piano). Check out this movie to see how we remember forte and piano! Have a great week!

Winding Down....

WOW! I can't believe that another year is almost over... and what a great year it has been! I have had so much fun. The kids in Forest City have to be some of the best kids in the world.

I'll be back next year with more posts, tech music tools for home, pictures, and videos from the music classroom. This is also one of the first places to check for 2013-2014 program dates! :)

Have a safe and fun summer! See you next year!

Just DANCE!

We are having a lot of fun this week! With the help of youtube, we are learning lots of fun dances to our favorite songs! We just follow the dancers on the big screen. We have been sticking to Just Dance Disney,  Just Dance Kids, and Just Dance Kids 2. It's so fun! :)

Have a great week!

Reminder that the 4th and 5th grade programs are rescheduled for this THURSDAY (May 9) at the Middle School. 4th Grade at 6:30 (arrive at 6:00) and 5th Grade at 7:45 (arrive at 7:15)- thanks for your flexibility!

BRAVO!

Last night was just as wonderful as we had hoped! Great job to all of the kindergarten and early primary students! :)

To celebrate, we're having a gum party and reading the Goldfinch Award winning Zoozical by Judy Sierra (Zoozical to celebrate the Moosical!)! Then, in the coming weeks, each class will get to have a small pizza party to continue the celebration.

Remember, tomorrow night the 4th graders will be presenting Ross Sutter and the Forest City 4th Graders at 6:30 PM in the Middle School Gymnasium and the 5th graders will be presenting Rock and Roll Forever at 7:45 PM in the Middle School Gymnasium. They are both really fun, upbeat programs!

See you there!

Today's the BIG DAY!

Tonight is truly one of my favorite nights of the year... the KINDERGARTEN and EARLY PRIMARY programs! It's so fun to see the kids perform for the first time. I thought this was a great time to THANK YOU, the parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles/supporters, for such wonderful kids. They have worked so hard and put in so much time- for many of them, this is one of the biggest, hardest things they've ever done!

You will see tonight how much they've grown... and we can't wait to show you!

See you tonight!

Kindergarten: arrive at 6 PM, program at 6:30 PM
Early Primary: arrive at 7:15 PM, program at 7:45 PM

A good goal for this busy week :)
