Bye bye Beethoven.... Learning harmonies...

                                                                                                                      September 25th


K - 5th Grades: 

         Even though we have a few days left in September, we have moved on to our "October Composer of the Month".   Beethoven is gone and we are moving on to one of the most popular contemporary composers... John Williams!  The kids will be learning about themes and fanfares while we discuss his music.  We just might have to listen to some soundtrack music to... can anyone say "Star Wars"??   ;)   This month is all about themes and how music can help tell a story by letting us know what character we are talking about.

Middle School Chorus: 

          We have some new music to learn over the next few weeks in preparation for our Pastor's Appreciation Chapel at the end of the month.  We have also been learning harmonies and how to blend parts.  We will be taking a short break from planning the Christmas Musical but will be working soon on auditions for speaking parts.  


Have a great week!! 

Mrs. Durrell
