"Music should belong to everyone" - Zoltan Kodaly

Class News:

• 6th grade - Students continue explore drumming, vocal performance, recorders, and drama.  Each class will be a jam packed session in creativity.  Currently we are exploring more improv acting, music of the Renaissance, and playing multiple parts on recorders
• 7th/8th grade Music Exploration - Students will continue exploration of the eras of Classical music.  In addition we are adding music reviews, Jazz, and Music & Movies.  In or Music & Movies sections we will disect the relationship between what we hear and what we see on screen.  Currently students are exhamining Western music from 1600-1750 C.E.  Also, students are writing weekly song reviews, which consist of a few sentences of persuasion.  The ultamate goal is for the best reviews from the class to make their way onto the web.
