Music: May 2012

Primary:

This month is concert month and all primary students are focusing on their performance.  Kindergarteners are working on sound effects to the story “Where the Wild Things Are”, while first graders are learning choreography to a lively dance piece, and 2^nd graders are using improvisation skills to perform a percussion ensemble piece.  All students will also sing a popular gospel song.

Intermediate:

Intermediate students are also working hard on their concert performance pieces.  3^rd graders are working on a complex dance piece, 4^th graders are using a code song from the times of slavery to develop a xylophone, recorder and drum arrangement, and 5^th graders who recently performed at our annual Gala, will perform a xylophone piece with melody and 2 harmonic lines.  All students will sing a latino song.

Middle School:

Middle school students are working on group percussion ensemble pieces, in 7^th and 8^th grade, body percussion step pieces in 8^th grade, a combined xylophone, drum and body percussion piece in 6^th grade and a complex xylophone piece with several overlaying parts in 7^th grade.  The concert promises to be quite eclectic and exciting!  The middle school girls are also singing one spiritual song as a choir.
