Thank you to all the parents who were able to come to our Open House last night! It was so nice to meet all of you, and see some old friends too! If you were unable to join us (or didn’t make it all the way up to the 3rd floor :). Please CLICK HERE to see the PowerPoint presentation with the basic class overview information that I presented last evening, and as always, please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you have.

Extra Credit: This month’s extra credit is to bring in a box of tissues or bottle of hand sanitizer 🙂 With nearly 250 students this semester, we go through a lot of tissues 🙂

Welcome to Middle School Music!

September 16, 2013 By

It’s so exciting to be starting a new school year!! I hope you all had a wonderful summer and are looking forward to getting back to music.

Reminder: by now, all students should have brought in 3 things for class.

  • A folder that can stay in class to keep all worksheets and other work together in class.
  • Headphones (don’t have to be anything fancy, dollar store are fine).
  • A pencil, this can also live in your folder if you have trouble remembering to bring one.

We are busy getting ready to play piano, learn to read and write music, and, term 2, play the guitar!! We have an exciting year ahead!!

Extra Credit: If you have an extra box of tissues or bottle of hand sanitizer at home, I’d greatly appreciate it if you’d bring one to school for class. I am happy to give extra credit to any student who helps out this way! We have 250 students coming though class, and the tissues and hand sanitizer would go to very good use!
