5th Grade Music

5th Grade

5th grade is learning how to read music.  As we play the recorder we have learned the notes B, A, G and where they are placed on the music staff. We are playing 3 songs for the Christmas Program being held on December 2nd (Tuesday) at the Roper Auditorium.  We need to be in our seats with our family before 7:00 pm.  Please help me remember to take my recorder so I can go on stage and join my classmates. 

All 5th graders should have their own recorders by now.  They cannot pass songs off or earn beads without having their own recorder.  If your 5th grader does not have their own recorder, or forget to bring their recorder to music class, they will receive a Refocus Sheet as a reminder of their responsibility to be prepared for music block.  Thanks for supporting your student's success in class by having their own recorder.  If your child still needs one, you may still purchase one from the Perrine Music Department for $6.00.  If you send money or a check, please send the right amount in change or written on the check.  I do not always have change. 
Your child will need a recorder through out the year until after our Recorder Program in the Spring.
