  Mrs. Roorda’s Marvelous Musicians!
  
  
  

   

  We are haveing fun and learning a lot in music class! We have been using folk songs and finger plays to learn musical opposites like high/low, loud/soft, fast/slow, and  long/short,  as well as exploring and using our four voices, talking, calling, whisper (sometimes we call it our secret voice), and singing. We have been learning about musical form through movement and parachute activities and decoding "mystery songs" using boomwhackers. As parents you can support your musician at home by asking them what they are singing in class, singing those songs with them (link below), listening to their favorite music, and singing their favorite songs.

• The Instrumental music students are working hard preparing for their spring concert on 6/6 at 1:30 pm. We are preparing an "Informance" to allow our classmates to see what we do and teach them about the different instruments we are learning. Several students will be participating in the NYSSMA Solo Festival held on May 18th.
