Yes, we are on a roll!  Another student has earned the Cadet Pin!  Congratulations!  All that hard work has paid off.  🤗🎶

Congratulations!  She was so excited knowing she would earn her pin for me today that she stopped in before school to play her song.  She did it! Not only did she play this song well but she has also begun working on the Intermediate Pin songs.  She played the first song from the Intermediate list and almost passed.  She has to correct two rhythms in the song and then she can move on to the next one.

I love seeing the excitement and  progress!  This young lady just made my day even brighter!

During class this morning we had another success story!  Another student has joined the rank of Cadet Pin!  Congratulations!

Students used the words written on candy hearts to create rhythm patterns.  Each team of students practiced their rhythms and then performed them for the class using non-pitched percussion.

Here is a sample of our work:

This week we are listing to the rhythms in music.   Does the rhythm express a gallop or walk for movement?  For one of our walking songs we added a trust factor.  One child is the car (unable to see) and the second child is the drive of the car.

Maples students are creating ostinato using half and quarter notes patterns to perform on instruments.

We have two new recipients of our Cadet Pin!  Congratulations for your hard work girls!

Will you be my Valentine?

Have a great day today!

We have another Cadet Pin awardee!

Congratultaions!  Your hard work has paid off.  🤗🎶
