Instrument Families and Pastor Appreciation..

8 October 2020

   K - 5th Grade Music: 

        Hi everyone!!  We have been having fun in music with our composer of the month!  Listening to music that many of them know from different movies etc..   We do have some music that he composed from movies that some have never seen.. and that is totally cool!  We are still learning about fanfares, themes etc.. and the use of them in music to get people's attention etc..    Tying into this, we are talking about the structure of the orchestra and specifically "instrument families".  This past week we focused on the Brass and Strings families.  This coming week, we will focus on the Woodwind and Percussion families, and continue our study of character themes in music.

Middle School Chorus: 

      These kids rock!!   This week, we have been learning our song that we will be performing for the Pastor's Appreciation Chapel at that end of the month.  They have learned it quickly and are doing really well with it.  Work continues on Christmas music and we will be working on the Veterans Chapel music soon..  I am so proud of these kids!!
