Thanks for your great work on "The Power of the Dream." The performance was fantastic!

In March, students will be learning about instrument families and vocal categories. We will continue to develop our singing voices. Students will also use some basic choreography to demonstrate form.



In January and February, students are learning to read do (C), mi (E), so (G) and la (A) on the staff. They are also learning how to sing them and use the corresponding hand symbols for these pitches. Students are working on their own compositions and are learning to use pitched and non-pitched instruments.
