UPDATE: 10/20/16

In 5th Grade we've started working on "We Didn't Start The Fire" by Billy Joel. It's rather amazing all the history that this song covers. Here are videos from each home room teachers class on the first time that the material was introduced. We've got a super star in Mrs. Peacocks class who already knew all the words!

Also, Dr. Miear stopped by to see what was going on in the music room at Margaret Beeks. He took a quick little video. Let's call it a sneak peek of "Bad Blood" by Taylor Swift.

 

In 4th Grade, we've started a few new tunes including this special one. "The Office Theme Song" from the TV show that everyone's parents know and love (or at least that's what the students say). This is a snippet of Ms. Shupe's Class working on the piece at the end of a class period. 

3rd and 4th Graders: Little Trains can be practiced at home on recorder. LET'S SEE IT HAPPEN!!!! Below I have put a video of myself through it so we can really see which fingers are moving when along with the slide from class. Let's hit more of the correct notes in class next time! We will continue to work on the accompaniment in class and start to sound more together.  

Here is a snippet from class today. We still got some work to go but this is a starting point!

UNTIL THE NEXT UPDATE, DO SOMETHING FUN AND PRODUCTIVE!
