Practice makes you a better player. Great job Anthony and Michael! Very proud of you!

Room 217 was learning about one of the most famous and influential composers of all time - Ludwig van Beethoven.

And this is how we studied his Fifth Symphony:

This week, the first and second graders are learning musical scales. They explored the concept of scales as moving up and down stairs. The scales are made of 8 steps. 

Our first lesson was focused on the first three steps: Do, Re and Me. Students were practicing how to connect the sound with the step. I am very proud to say that almost 100% of my students were able to distinguish the sounds. 

At the end of the lesson, we all sang "Do Re Me" song from "The Sound of Music" Musical.   

And when we finish our work, we sing what we want. This time we used Rihanna's "Stay"

This week my 8th graders were learning "Little Latin Song". Just three notes, but such a cute tune!

Great job Alex!

Alex comes to music class every Thursday morning and learns how to play piano. He can read music score!
