"La la la la la, we'll listen to the instruments and see which ones we know!"

1st graders refined a few songs from their musical "Lemonade", and also attended a Kindergarten musical rehearsal. They were a great audience. 2nd graders made it to a 4th grade full rehearsal as well. It's great to see students involved with other grades musicals.

Pictured here in 1st grade, we sang the familiar folk tune "A-Hunting We Will Go", and students hunted down some small percussion instruments...some familiar and others of which weren't as familiar! In February, grades K-2 had a short discussion on Black)  History Month, with examples such as Louis Armstrong and various Motown songs as well. Grade 2 has been singing/visualizing Do-Re-Mi, with some ear-training examples to boot. Many students in all grades have made strides with their use and understanding of solfege (Do-Re-Mi etc..) with hand motions, and we continue to use the method in games, vocal warmups and cleaning songs for musicals as well. Our students are working very hard and I can't wait to see them perform in April!
