Music Notes for December
Fifth Grade Music
Fifth grade students are busy discovering Native American culture through playing games and singing songs. We have listened to a traditional Athabascan bead-chant song, performed a Navajo singing game with drum accompaniment, and played a Comanche Hand Game song called “Eka Muda. We will soon play and improvise patterns along with a stick game from the Ute tribe. Within our unit, we have discussed the word texture in art and music, experienced some new rhythms, and connected to Social Studies class through discussion of Native Americans.
Fifth graders are also preparing for a performance in the D.A.R.E. graduation, which will be next Monday, December 6th at 7:00pm in the gymnasium. We hope you are able to attend this awesome event to honor fifth graders’ accomplishments in D.A.R.E.
6th Grade Music
Sixth grade students are currently in the middle of a rock unit. Within our rock unit, we have listened to, discussed, and sung rock songs from the 1950’s to now. We are currently working on playing mallet instruments along with a rock track. In the next couple of weeks, we will compose ostinatos along to accompany a contemporary rock song. Within our rock unit, students have been experiencing syncopated rhythms and repeating patterns in music.
Sixth Grade Choir
Sixth grade choir is looking forward to their next concert on December 14th at 7:00pm in the IS gymnasium (this will be a combined concert with the elementary school) and their performance at Crown Center on December 15th at 5:45pm. Crown Center information is due this Friday, December 3rd. Sixth grade students will also be performing at the Pleasant Hill Health and Rehab Center at 1:30pm on December 20th, 2010. Our final performance this semester will be for the school on December 22nd before we leave for holiday break.
**Honor choir will also be performing on December 14th at the IS, December 15th at Crown Center, and December 22nd for the school.
We look forward to bringing cheer to many people through the gift of music this holiday season!

Music Notes Newsletter for November
Music Notes for November
5th Grade Music
This is a reminder that all 5th grade students will be participating in our “Looking Glass into the Past” P.T.O. night on Tuesday, November 9th at 7:00pm. Students and parents will begin in the gymnasium where students will perform patriotic songs from 1850 – 1910 and a groovy dance from the 1970’s. Following this performance, parents and students will be invited to travel through time around the school to view artwork from the Middle Ages and inventions from 1940 – present. Since the P.T.O. night is an extension of elective class work, attendance is mandatory for all fifth grade students. If a student cannot attend, he/she can pick up a makeup assignment from the music room beginning on Tuesday, November 2nd. The assignment will be due to Mrs. Williams on or before Friday, November 12th, 2010. P.T.O. will be providing drinks and requests that 5th grade parents donate cookies to enjoy after the performance. 5A should drop off cookies in the art room and 5B in the music room on or before November 9th. We look forward to seeing you on November 9th!
6th Grade Music
Sixth grade students just completed their vocal unit in music class. We are now moving on to create ostinatos (repeating melodic and rhythmic patterns) to perform along with contemporary music. At the end of November, we will begin a guitar unit with our brand new guitars that P.T.O. provided for the Intermediate School! Thank you P.T.O.!
Sixth Grade Choir
Sixth Grade Choir gave an awesome performance on October 7th! We are now moving on to our new concert repertoire, which includes…
La Loo, La Low – a Christmas lullaby
Frosty Hand Jive – a fun choreographed snowman song, full of syncopation!
Christmas Time is Here – one of my personal favorites from “A Charlie Brown Christmas”
Carol of the Bells – Traditional Carol
Eja, Eja – means “Joy, Joy” in Latin, an upbeat song in a minor key that speaks of the joy of singing.
Sixth grade choir is looking forward to their next concert on December 14th in the IS gymnasium (this will be a combined concert with the elementary school), and their performance at Crown Center on December 15th.
