Hello! Thank you for visiting my blog! I had a great first week at St. Jude's and am already looking forward to the next week! My students are so much fun and they really seem to enjoy music. We had a lot of fun this week and will continue to have fun all year! Here are some of my "highlights" from my first week.
    Take care!

JK: we sang some great songs like Old McDonald and The Wheels on the Bus. The kids really enjoyed it!

SK: We also sang a few Children's songs like If You're Happy and You Know It. I showed them all my fun instruments that I brought to the school like my guitar, ukulele, xylophone and melodica.

Gr1: We are working on our first unit called "Melody". What I have done so far is play some great melodies on my guitar(like O Canada) and had my class sing these songs while I played the chords.

Gr. 2: We are having a lot of fun learning the musical alphabet! The first unit we will work through is called "Scales". Students learned the difference between the C Major and C Minor scales.

Gr.3 : We are having a great time working on learning the musical alphabet. Our first unit is "Ear Training". I am hoping that students will be able to correctly identify the many different pitches in the musical alphabet.

 We had a lot of fun this week and everyone seems to be having a great time! Stop by next week for another blog!
