Music Room Notes

      There is so much music making going on in the JME music room that you could possibly get dizzy!  This Friday, our Kindergarten students will be stunning their audience with "Amazin' Shapes" at 1:00pm in the JME gymnasium.  Who would have thought that learning about shapes could be so much fun!  Kindergarten has some great dancers, so our 4th graders better watch out! 
      The next musical performance is scheduled for Friday, October 19th at 1:00pm.  Our 2nd grade students will be presenting "Get Up and Move."  We are having a great time practicing for this program, but I sure am getting my exercise!  I hope that the JME 2nd graders can keep up with me!  Please encourage them to bring their music home and practice.
      A special thank you to my chorus parents for getting the singers to school early on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.  Please remember that they need to eat breakfast at home on chorus days.  We are already working on music for our Christmas concert.
      1st graders will begin working on their Christmas musical next week, so get ready for them to start squeaking with enthusiasm!  They will have lots of musical goodies to share!
      4th and 5th grade students are studying the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.  They will be listening to The Magic Flute next week, so please ask them about a special homework assignment.  This is a listening lesson, so they should be able to explain exactly what the assignment is.  Just a heads up - I am encouraging them to use any recycled materials that they can find.  I want them to step out of the pencil and paper box!  I am excited about where their imaginations will take them! 

     Keep music in your lives until next time!
