If you are interested in watching videos to assist you with learning the Recorder Karate songs you can go to this link to see them. The videos are also available on the Recorder Resources page. I made a video of myself playing all nine Karate songs and hope you will find them useful.

Activities coming up….
My Parents
Some students had the pleasure of meeting my parents last Friday at Salina Int. School. My parents even participated in some of our music activities during 5th grade music class. After school we met with some teachers to talk about health and essential oils. Here is a photo of us during the presentation. I am blessed with wonderful parents and love them very much.

Honors Choir News!
Our students did a nice job singing Halloween Songs for the students in grades 3, 4 and 5 on Friday afternoon. Now we begin to think about and prepare for our Winter Concert. We will be performing a few songs, the band and orchestra students in grades 6, 7 & 8 will also be performing.
If you would like to join the Honors Choir for the December Concert you must plan to attend our Wednesday and Friday rehearsals. You can begin practicing the songs if you go to our Honors Choir Music Club page. Two of the songs are already posted for your practicing pleasure.
5th Graders are working on a new song.
Neesa is a Seneca Nation song about the first full moon of Winter. We have just begun practice and have added the bass part. For our practice though we are using bass, alto and soprano. More instruments will be added soon. Check back in a few weeks for our final performance video.
Here is an updated version – Haidarah’s class has added 3 more instrument parts to their performance. You will have to click on this Youtube link to view the video. Click Here

Salina Honors Choir and Music Club!
Yes, we’ve added to our name slightly since I plan to add some Orff Instruments, Recorders and Hand Drums to our mix of sound this year.
Our first performance will be on Friday, Oct. 31 (AKA Halloween). We will be performing a ghostly selection of fun October songs. Our audience will be parents, 3rd graders from across the street and our own 4th and 5th grade students. The concert will be in the afternoon. There is a possibility of a movie being shown after the concert but that is uncertain. Look for more details to be posted very soon.
