5th & 6th instruments Monday, Guitars Tuesday

4th Grade
Had a delightful final class today. They can keep their instruments at home to practice over the break. I gave students 2 somewhat familiar songs from Waldorf vocal music in a format meant to lead into note reading (which we will do as a class in the New Year).

5th & 6th Grade

Please remember that 5th & 6th graders need to bring their violins, violas, and cellos to school on Monday, December 21. We will play first thing for the Advent Assembly for the other grades.

6th graders may bring their cases and instruments to the Butterfly Room to warm up. I will move any instruments left in the 6th grade room over the weekend to the Butterfly Room.

We will be playing without music (for the challenge and because the lobby will be crowded). Our program will consist of Pat-a-pan, What Child is This, and Carol of the Bells.

There will be no strings classes on Tuesday. I encourage students to take their violins, violas, and cellos home on Monday.

7th & 8th Guitar We will have class as usual on Monday. 7th & 8th graders will come directly to the nursery room on Tuesday morning with their guitar cases, Rise Up Singing, and Backpacker's Songbooks to tune and warm up. Once we have opened, we will play in the lobby as a gift to the other students and parents as they arrive. Our program will be

Hey Jude
Silent Night
3 Ships (Pending Our Success With it on Monday)
What Child is This
Let it Be
Moonshadow
Amazing Grace

We will conclude around 8:35 or so.
