What an amazing concert this past Tuesday! Thank you to all the students and staff who worked together to make the concert so wonderful.
This week, the first two days were spent in concert preparation and rehearsal. In the latter half of the week, 2nd and 3rd grade students discussed the concert and how to give constructive criticism. Second grade continued to work on their compositions and third grade learned about Tonic and Dominant chords (currently called "Home" and "Away"), preparing them for their upcoming composition project.
First grade explored the idea of a "beat" more with Engine, Engine Number 9, and both first grade and Kindergarten listened to Carnival of the Animals. They discussed what different animals might "sound" like and then did movement with scarves to embody that sound/mood.

October 31st-November 4th
As we get closer and closer to the concert, classes spend more an more time focusing on repertoire, audience etiquette, proper riser standing, singing technique, and general information about the Higley Center.
Parents - if you did not get a blue piece of paper sent home about concert dress code and call times, please contact me or Mrs. Olsen!
Second grade began a composition project this week. In groups, they picked a scene or story to create with music. They chose "characters" and instruments to represent those characters. Next week they will choose how to perform their scene.
Third grade is finishing up their timeline projects. This week them summarized their group's event, and next week they will present their event.
First grade is working on visualizing a beat while Kindergarten worked on recognizing high and low notes.
