Mr. Flower's Music Blog Oct 26

Hello parents of SJA,

We had a very eventful week that just passed. We had a lot of tests and a lot of good grades given out to the students. I am happy that the students have enjoyed my class and it seems like they have learned a lot. We also started learning songs for the Christmas Concert! This should be a fun time!

JK: The kids of JK had to sing "Old McFlower" for their test. They had to sing the correct words and sing it with a lively dance. This was a lot of fun to see/hear and the kids did really well!

SK: I gave these students a test and it proved to be more difficult then I thought it would be. This did not go very well so I decided to make it easier. The students had to identify all the lines and spaces of the Treble clef and they did much better on this modified test!

Gr.1: These students had to play Frere Jacques on the xylophone. I had the words and notes written on the board and they did really well!

Gr.2: These students had to play a C Major, C Minor scale, a melody I wrote and had to play one note 45 times to a metronome. It was an "open book" test and it went well.

Gr.3: This was a lot of fun! These students had to memorize a C major scale and another scale of their choice. They also had to identify certain notes of each scale and even sing a few notes. It went well!

    I am very lucky to be their teacher and can't wait to get them ready for the Christmas concert!
