It has been a nice first month at school. I am enjoying teaching and my students have been a delight. Don’t get me wrong-I have had discipline issues, but that pales in comparison to the “a ha” moments.
Some items that my students created:
- My Kindergartners arranged and created an accompaniment for Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
- My 1st graders performed their first 2-part orffestration.
- My 3rd graders performed their first 4-part orffestration to the song Long-Legged Sailor.
- My grades 4-8 band had their first rehearsal and they were thrilled to have their own wikispace this year.
The Kindergartners used Sibelius’s Groovy Music, and grades one and three were recorded using Apple’s GarageBand and the internal microphone.
If you get a chance, please take a listen to their performances. Though they are not perfect, I am thrilled to hear their progress and see the light gleam in their eyes when they listen to their performances on the website!
