Holiday Snowtime!

Pre-kindergarten sang, danced, and played their little hearts out at their Christmas program-Holiday Snowtime! Audience members enjoyed watching them perform He'll Be Comin' Down the Chimney, 1 Little 2 Little 3 Little Snowflakes, Ring the Bells, Christmas Turkey Dance, O Little Town of Bethlehem, and some chants/fingerplays. Check out our festive singers!

Glad Tidings We Bring!

Kindergarten joyfully sang, danced, and played instruments at their music program, Glad Tidings We Bring! Audience members heard a collection of traditional carols and a few new ones. What a wonderful way to spread holiday spirit by listening to a choir of happy children's voices :)

 

Jingle All the Way!

 
1st Grade did a great job performing their Christmas program, Jingle All the Way! Both students and audience alike worked hard to return Santa's jingle to his heart! Check out some photos of our cute elves, reindeer, toys, children, Santa, and Mrs. Claus:

November's Composer of the Month

 This month's composer is Nathaniel Stookey! He is famous for doing things a little differently-whether that be writing music for a humorous murder-mystery with famous children's author Lemony Snicket, making an orchestra completely out of junk from a dump, or being inspired to compose by a vintage arcade-he does it all!

September's Composer of the Month

 The kids think this month's composer is one cool guy! Michael Giacchino is well known for being a video game, television, and film composer! This month we've focused on how much music effects a story and it's emotion-which is why music is SO important in movies. Students have learned lots of new vocab words like film, motive/theme, soundtrack, and more!

Married Life from Up

 The Glory Days from The Incredibles

This movie is too new to have any accessible video clips so we imagined our own to the soundtrack!

August's Composer of the Month

 We kicked off the school year with one of the most famous composers of all time, Johannes Brahms! The kids are always so excited to start Composer of the Month and honestly shout and dance excitedly on Fridays when I announce it :) We discussed Brahms life, looked at pictures, and studied three of his popular works. You probably will recognize one, even if you've never studied Brahms!
