Fall Break

Our week back from Fall Break has (of course) been a busy one!  W have started new music in every class, and they are all working admirably on their respective pieces.  We have had several very productive rehearsals this week, and (with hope) that should continue!  Breakfast Club has even started holiday music already (YIKES!)!  The rest of the classes should be receiving holiday music in the next week or so as well, so we are in full swing for our next round of concerts in December.  The 6th grade class has also made strides this week.  They returned to their Essential Elements method book to brush up on a few things they should know from last year, and they have much improved!

E DAY!

So here we are in our first E day of the year!  Students (I'm sure) are hard at work today composing a four measure melody using Noteflight that they will perform tomorrow!  Also, tomorrow night is another parent night for the parents to come in and learn how to play!  I hope that many show up!

We are also hard at work this week on pieces of music for our concerts next week.  Every grade has concerts next week and have been working hard for the past several weeks!  I'm excited to demonstrate the hard work and talent of all the students!

Also, the 8th grade class had the opportunity to work with Mr. Tietz, the high school director, Monday.  He was very excited at the level of playing that our 8th grade students posses!  In two weeks we will be able to show ZMS, ZCHS, and parents from both schools how well we play at the Crossover Festival!
