Concert Songs

Hello again!

It's come time for us to start learning our songs for this year's holiday concert.
The show will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 10th with more info to come soon.
Although there is still no snow on the ground, we've already begun to get in the spirit of winter with some catchy tunes about the cold.

As I only get to see the students once a week, I ask that you please help them to practice their songs at home in order to be prepared for our time together. They are expected to know the words and be familiar with the tunes of their group's songs.

Please note that Dropbox is required in order to access the songs and lyrics. The students will be receiving a hard copy of the words shortly. Some lyrics or parts of songs may be cut or subject to change as we work through them together. Please refer to the typed lyrics provided for now.

Just click on your child's homeroom teacher's link below to download their songs!

Thank you for all your support and cooperation.

Welcome to the 2014/2015 School Year!

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to my blog! With some much going on at the beginning of the year, this is my first post of the year. I'm so glad to be back at my wonderful school teaching music again!

To those who have never visited my blog, you can check out what we were up to last year in music and be sure to revisit it soon - as I'll be posting more info on what we are learning about in kindergarten and cycle 1.

I'm still pretty new to blogging and am trying to figured out how to organize this page a little better.

So far in cycle 1 we have reviewed a lot of basic music theory elements such as dynamics (volume), tempo (speed), articulation (the way the music moves) and form (organization). The students certainly have some new vocabulary to share...presto and largo anyone? Forte and piano? Staccato and legato?

Here's what our room looks like this year:

A little addition to the hallway shows all of the SJF Jr. Staff's favourite genres of music (something we will be looking at soon in cycle 1!)
