Online Music Learning – Week 2
Greetings Miller students and families! I hope you are all staying safe and healthy while seeking every opportunity for positivity and growth. Below you will see links labeled for different grade levels. Please visit all of the links during this week. If you have any questions or are having trouble with the links please contact me at doant@dearbornschools.org.
Grades K-5
Music Play Online has many lessons, divided by grade level. Students can log in at musicplayonline.com with the username: snow and the password: 2020 Have a great time exploring this site!
Grades 1-5
Please visit this link and read about the composer Mozart. Then try the play-a-longs linked below. Both play-a-longs are compositions by Mozart. Instead of using the suggested instruments in the play-along, find some “instruments” in your home (for example: sticks, something that shakes, something metal), or better yet, use body percussion. https://www.classicsforkids.com/composers/composer_profile.php?id=46
Grades K-5
These video links are a continuation of last weeks Music Show Episodes. Enjoy learning more about rests and high/low sounds.
4th Grade Recorders
Please use these play-a-longs to practice your recorder this week Also, check out musicplayonline.com for more recorder songs at your level. with the username: snow and the password: 2020 Have a great time exploring this site!

Miller Choir at Edsel Ford
Our Miller Choir had the opportunity to sing the National Anthem at Edsel Ford High School last night, to start the Varsity Girls Basketball Game. It was a wonderful, unique opportunity for our students, and the crowd loved them!
We have been asked to perform again for the Varsity Boys Basketball Game on March 3rd. The game will start at 7pm, meaning we will be singing before then. Come cheer us on!

Concert season is almost here! More details will be coming in the next few weeks, along with a letter home to parents. The first detail that we have begun speaking with students about is what to wear on stage to best represent Miller. The list below applies to 1st – 5th grade, as we are still making a decision for Kindergarten.
Shoes: Black, White, Grey, Brown. The closest you have to these colors is preferred.
Pants: Black pants or plain blue jeans. Girls may wear long black skirts, or short black skirts with black tights/leggings underneath.
Tops: Miller Shirts! This is any old or new Miller Elementary shirt. Sweatshirts, long sleeves, short sleeves! As long as it has “Miller Elementary” on it. If you feel you’ll be cold on stage, wear an undershirt (see pictures below) that is black, white, or grey.
