Finally another music update! I apologize for the lack of posts recently.
This week kindergarten students had a short music class, singing some of their favourite songs including one about a boa constrictor! Grade 1/2 students have been hard at work creating their so mi songs. Our topics range from hockey to sugar gliders and beyond! Students have worked to edit and rehearse their songs, adding in basic dynamics (forte and piano) as well as rhythm. Some have now moved on to the recording phase of the project where they have the chance to perform their songs. We continue to review the French lyrics, instrument parts, and dancing for Ah! Si Mon Moine Voulait Danser. Grade 3/4 students have enjoyed the challenge of learning additional instrumental parts for Lots of Fish in Bonavist' Harbour and completed another listening log for George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. They are excited about their rhythm stick composition project that they are working on as an additional section to Stick By Me. Room 18 students have also enjoyed creating so mi songs and singing and playing instruments for the folk song Ah! Si Mon Moine Voulait Danser. They expanded their Boomwhacker repertoire to include an arrangement of Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King. Students are excited for the upcoming talent show entitled Sibbald on Stage. Ms. Manser will be sending out more details in this coming week's Parent Update and hard copies will be made available to any students are interested in auditioning.
