Smart Music
This year band students will be working with a computer program called Smart Music. It is a great tool for practicing and assessing performance. Once students become more familiar with how it works, I will send home information about you can subscribe to Smart Music and have it on your home computer. SMARTMUSIC is being used in all of our district's middle and high schools. We
Jazz Band
Jazz band rehearsals are in full swing! The jazz band has been meeting Wed, Thurs and Fri mornings at 7am. Our first performance will be at our district's annual PIZZAZZ Concert on March 26th. This year's concert will be at Skyview and will include all of the district's jazz bands.
8th Grade General Music
8th grade general music students have been learning about "classical" music. We are learning about music that was written during the classical, romantic and modern periods. Students are already able to tell some differences between the music of these different time periods. We will be studying the lives of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.
