The Middle School Music concert last night was fantastic. The kids looked fabulous and sounded just as good . Costumes were outstanding, soloists were right on, and a good time was had by all. Stay tuned for some photos of the exciting night!

Middle school continues to gear up for the February concert. Music is almost finalized for both 6th grade chorus and junior high choir. In 8th grade general music, we have started a unit on film music. Projects have included creating our own soundtracks for a movie, watching a Charlie Chaplin silent film and discussing how music affects perception of the events in the movie, and playing a game of guessing what music goes with which movie. Students have been enjoying the different projects.

Middle school groups have been working hard to prepare music for a February concert. Much time has been spent this year so far on diction, proper singing posture, and the "basics" of being in a choir. While some of the students haven't found this to be the most interesting thing they could be doing, the sound of both groups has improved a lot. There are some really talented singers in both groups, and I'm excited to see them continue to improve. Because of all of their hard work so far this school year, we will be loosening up with some selections from musicals to kick of 2015.
