Grade 3 Dance Interlude

Down Candy Cane Lane

Grade 3 Dancers

On Friday, Mrs. Taylor came to the Music Room and helped us with the choreography for the dance interlude for the song, Down Candy Cane Lane. This is a very rough video of the steps we need to learn. Grade 3 dancers, please practice at home with an "invisible partner" or maybe someone in your family. ;)

See you at our next practice, Grade 3 Dancers!

Everyone's a musician when the day ends whomever they are no matter what.

Andante by Mozart

The Grade 4 and 5 students are learning about the composer, 
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, this term. Not only are we learning about his life and music, but we are also playing one of his compositions on the recorder. This song, Andante, by Mozart is originally composed for the piano and is actually called Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major K.133. 
You can watch a YouTube video of a pianist playing it HERE.


We will be having a test on this piece in February. They will be tested on following outcomes:

         Using the correct recorder fingering

         Soft, gentle tone

         Reading the notes on the staff while playing

         Playing the correct rhythms (especially tam-ti rhythm)   

         Left hand on top

We will be spending adequate time practicing the song in class but music will be available to be taken home to practice. I will also be in the Music room to help any student on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday lunch recesses from 12:20-12:50. I have posted a video below of what the song should look and sound like. Students, you will have to look closely as to when my thumb lifts off the back of the recorder for the high D note. 

Test dates:

Thursday, February 7 - Room 15

Friday, February 8 - Room 13

Monday, February 11 - Room 14
