Another week of music fun!

We have had a very good week in music class this week!

Our somg of the day was the Star Spangled Banner. We learned that Francis Scott Key wrote the words on September 14, 1814 on a British ship. We also learned some etiquette for the song.

PK students learned about fast and slow. We had a lot of fun learning the Old Gray Cat song/game.

Kindergarten students finished up our lessons on the 4 voices.  We really enjoyed playing 4 corners. Ask your child about the 4 voices: whisper, talk, shout, and sing.  While playing 4 corners, we learned what a choir does.  We also had a big discussion on which voice a rock band would fit under: shouting or singing. (that's a tough one, isn't it?)

1st grade students had a week of patriotic fun. We learned the history of the Star Spangled Banner. We know that Francis Scott Key wrote the words to the song and we even know where he was when he wrote it.  We also sang the song "America-My Country Tis of Thee".

It has been a fabulous week in music class!! Stay tuned for some exciting things coming up in music class.
