ELEMENTARY MUSIC 

     We are still doing "Storytelling thru music".. .and this week the kids have been listening to selections from the musical "The King and I".   Rogers and Hammerstein have been our Composers of the month and the kids seem to enjoy the musicals.  I wish I had time to show them a complete musical.. and urge you at home to watch one with them... the know the difference between a PLAY, and OPERA and a MUSICAL. 

      The first graders were also amazed to learn that  one of their favorite movie comic book actors is in a musical... Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) singing in OKLAHOMA was a hit today in class! Next week, my favorite musical of all time.... THE SOUND OF MUSIC!!! 

MS/HS CHOIR

        New semester... new choir!!   Many changes for this semester...  we will be working towards our ultimate goal of having a concert at the end of the year... in the meantime...  we will be working not only on our music, but also learning some music theory along the way.  I look forward to learning this group and getting to do some great music together!!  

PS>..   The final recordings for last semester's choir will be available soon...  I will let you know!!  

THANKS everyone!!
