First grade students learned about audiation the first half of the week. Audiation is when you can hear music in your head. They practiced audiating with a cute song called "Little Peter Rabbit" - with hand motions. We also learned a song called "Charlie Over the Ocean" which allowed the students to practice singing the pitches of "sol" "la" "mi" and "do." The students had a great time playing the game, which is like a musical version of "Duck, Duck, Goose."
The second graders started to learn music for our Memorial Day concert which will be held on Friday, May 25th. We learned the song and hand motions to "You're A Grand Old Flag." The students are very excited about this performance.
Our third grade students learned the bass line to the song, "Hot Cross Buns." A bass line is the low pitch instrumental part. Here is Mrs. Keating's class performing the melody and harmony line:
Students were also challenged to figure out the bass line for the yellow belt song, "Merrily We Roll Along." We also learned how to play low D and low E.
Our fourth and fifth grade students are now in full concert preparation. Lyrics should be memorized when we see the students after spring break. Please note that due to the MSMS open house on the day of our concert, May 2nd, our spring concert will now begin at 6pm. Letters, updating this new time should have gone home on Friday.
Have a wonderful Spring Break! Best of luck to Mrs. Weinberg will be running the Boston Marathon!!
