No More Pie

Kindergarten singers are working on finding their singing voice.  One of the ways they do that is by singing echo songs, using the "magic microphone".  Singers try and make their voice sound like my voice.  We do this as a whole group and then again with brave solo singing voices.  Here's a kindergarten favorite, No More Pie.

September in the Music Room

I love the beginning of the school year!  Here's a peek at what's happening in the music room...

KINDERGARTEN MUSICIANS ARE...

• learning routines that will keep us efficient and safe.
• finding singing voices and are learning lots of songs.
• learning how to play the triangle, tambourine, rhythm sticks and guiros.
• moving their bodies, and playing instruments to the steady beat.

FIRST GRADE MUSICIANS ARE...

• learning routines that will keep us efficient and safe.
• revisiting the musical opposites we explored last year.
• exploring classroom instruments and reviewing proper playing techniques.
• getting our first grade singing voices in action!

It has been a pleasure getting to know your children these last few weeks.  As always, please let me know if you have any questions about your child's music education!

September Singers

Listen to these sweet kindergarten singers singing our Rowe School song, Safe, Kind, Helpful and Polite.  These children have only had two music classes, and we have spent less than 10 minutes on this song.  Aren't they amazing?
