September Music Room News

September is an exciting time of the year in the JME music room. Kindergarten students are preparing their "sounds" for their program on Friday, September 27, 2013 in the gymnasium at 1pm. The children were given a letter filled with program information on Monday. It will be an event that you do not want to miss. Third grade students are busy preparing "Interplanetary Jammin'" for your listening pleasure. They will perform on Friday, October 25th at 1pm. This performance promises to be out of this world. We have lots of tricks up our sleeves for this one! 4th and 5th grade chorus will meet for their first classes on Friday afternoon. We are so excited to finally get started making beautiful harmonies together. We look forward to performing for you this winter. Everyone else is busy learning alot about rhythm and melody. 4th and 5th grade students should be studying their Frederick Delius study guides. Until next time, try to stay cool, dry, and listen to music every day!

Welcome to the JME music room - where stars are born!

The JME music room is the place to be during the 2013-2014 school year! The happy sounds of rhythm, harmony, and melody will be "skyrocking" out of every crack from the music room into the main hallway and on to "infinity and beyond"(as Buzz Lightyear would say). My wish is for every student to be busting at the seams to share what they did in music with every family member every week. Please find out what day your child comes to music and get into the habit of asking them what we did that day. Each grade level will have a music program during the school year, but our main focus will be on building basic music skills at each grade level. We always build on skills learned in previous years. Rhythm and melody are important parts of our everyday lives down to our breathing and heartbeats. Kindergarten students will have the first program of the school year. They will present "Sounds We Found" for your entertainment on Friday, September, 27th at 1:00p.m. Parents will receive more information later in the month. Fifth grade students play the soprano recorder as part of their music curriculum. It is important for each child to have his/her own instrument for sanitary and practice reasons. If you have not ordered your child's instrument, please contact me as soon as possible. They will start recorder the first day of music. Information about the JME chorus and other grade level programs will be forthcoming! Please feel free to contact me at any time at 368-3114 or lpoppell@liberty.k12.ga.us. I am looking forward to a great year with your children! KEEP LISTENING!
