3rd Grade Sure Did Peas....we mean Please!

Congrats to 3rd Grade for putting on an awesome music program to end the year!! They sang, they danced, they had a food fight, and most of all had a great time while doing it :) 3rd Grade successfully put on The Principal and the Pea, which puts a new twist on the classic story of The Princess and the Pea. All we have left to say is, good luck with the Brussels sprouts!

Fantastic Job 5th Grade!

5th Grade put on a fantastic music program last Thursday for friends and family! A combination of classical composer's familiar tunes put with new words delighted the audience. If you were watching, you might have even learned something new :) Enjoy these photos from the performance:

March's Composer of the Month

Meet Alan Menken, one of the most acclaimed and famous composers alive today! The kids enjoyed learning about how Menken got his start writing jingles for advertisements and accompanying ballets, but then moved on to writing musicals and film music. He is best known for the two decades he devoted to composing memorable music for Disney films like Beauty and the Beast, Hercules, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Enchanted, Tangled, and so many more!

A Whole New World from Aladdin

Star Spangled Man from Captain America

I've Got a Dream from Tangled

February's Composer of the Month

February's composer was George Frideric Handel!! He is one of the most famous Baroque composers and the kids loved getting to know him. Here are a fun few facts if you can handel it (sorry, couldn't help myself!): he was nicknamed the "Great Bear" due to his size and the way he walked, he worked for King George I of England, he could speak 4 languages, and play 4 instruments. I guarantee you will recognize a few of his pieces!
Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah
