Important
Dates: 5th Grade Music Class
We use an older curriculum book called “World of Music” and supplement it with a new curriculum aid called “Music Express” which is fun and effective in keeping up to date with new music and current with the world today. Fifth graders perform at two concerts each year as part of their performance grade. Since students receive a performance grade for these concerts, it is very important that they attend. Parents should mark their calendar now. Fifth graders are to dress nicely for these concerts. Grades are based on 40% daily participation, 30% tests, homework, and quizzes, and 30% performance. Fifth graders also perform in a MUSICAL each spring with the sixth graders. It is usually performed during the morning at school. Dates for this are pending. 6th Grade Chorus
Students in this group perform for the two concerts as part if their performance grade. Since these concerts are for a performance grade, it is very important that they attend. They go both semesters to a nursing home in the area as an outreach to the community. Sixth graders also perform in a spring musical with the 5th Graders during the school day in the spring. DRESS CODE FOR CONCERTS: blue music polo shirt, tan slacks, dark shoes Make sure your student has the music shirt,

The
vocal music class for 5th
graders consists of: singing, harmony, composing songs as a group,
notating music, reading music, and playing recorders better. They learn
to play chords on a keyboard to accompany the group that is
singing. They work to learn about keys, scale, chords and clapping
rhythms. As with every grade, their individual voice is recorded on
their own audio tape to document their vocal range and musical
progress.
