Well the weather hasn't been cooperating but Spring is alive in the music classroom and all music clubs as we get ready for some fun performances. Mrs Lindsay and I attended The Massachusetts Music Educators Association Conference a few weeks ago and I got some amazing ideas on how to incorporate jazz improvisation and boost creative expression in the music classroom. We are exploring this concept on all our Instruments and especially with our voices. Kids love it. If you walk buy our room you'll hear some serious scat singing happening!
We just completed our 2 special festivals: Plymouth Children's Chorus and All Town Choir Festival. Twenty amazing students from NMES 4th and 5th grade represented our school. I was very proud of their hard work, respectful behavior and amazing sound. I created a play list of All Town rehearsals and performances on our NMES Music Room Channel. Please check it out! In Ukulele Club we passed out a notice this week about the importance of practicing and playing the instrument at home. Any student is also welcome to bring their own ukulele in the music classroom to get more time in playing. I have students as young as second graders that who now accompany us as we sing our songs at the start of class. It makes me smile :) UKULELE CLUB HAPPENINGS:Practice Letter
