5th graders continue learning ALTO recorder  and reinforcing note names on the staff. 
This month we will complete a composition project begun in December with student performances. 
Spoiler alert!  Ukes are coming in February!

5th graders still love singing the "Good Morning" song, but now we are on to recorders!  Students need to bring their recorders to every music class.  if your student does not  own a recorder, you may purchase one from the Lamping Website.  If you are unable to purchase a recorder, have your 5th grader talk to Mrs. Schoessow.  This week the students  played "All Through the Night" on recorders accompanied by xylophones and metallophones.  It really sounded quite nice!

5th graders got off to a great start this week singing and dancing to "Good Morning".  We also discussed music room rules, recorders (which they will need the 2nd week in Sept) and listened to some music from John Williams (Star Wars).  Ask them what S.Q.U.I.L.T. means.  They serenaded Mrs. Schoessow with "Take Time in Life" and learned a new West African song:  Banuwa.  Many were interested in joining one or both of the new Lamping performing groups open only to 4th and 5th graders: Concert Choir and/or Percussion Ensemble.  If they didn't receive the sign-up applications, both can be printed from the home page of this website.  Applications are due by Sept. 3rd.
