I'm a little late in posting and I apologize! It's been a crazy couple of weeks in the music department at Weiner Elementary School. Last week we performed our Arias! Above you'll see pictures of our 3rd and 4th graders performing. I actually got a really good video of a couple of 4th graders performing, but I haven't figured out how to put it on here just yet.
This past week, we learned about recitative in our 3-6 grade music classes. Mr. Hicks and I performed a little example of a recitative for the students and they enjoyed it tremendously. They all started working on writing and performing their own recitatives for this coming week. I'm hoping to have more pictures to post and hopefully a video or two. In Kindergarten through 2nd grade, we are working on learning more nursery rhymes. We have mastered the Humpty Rap, Hickory Dickory Dock, and The Itsy Bitsy Spider. We are on to learning Jack and Jill and Hey Diddle Diddle. We have learned all about rhyming words and why they rhyme. We are also learning to sing acapella, or without instrumental music. Overall, music has been fun and educational. We are all looking forward to what will happen next!
