Welcome Back!
I hope you had a restful and relaxing vacation! I also hope you are ready to continue making music!
This week in Exploring Music we wrapped up working with the "Take Time in Life" ensemble, which combined singing, movement, clapping, and several percussion instruments. Students did a great job with this challenging ensemble! Check out the videos below of us performing "Take Time in Life"!

The rest of the week brought excitement for us as we started work on our final percussion ensemble titled "High Life". This ensemble included three drum parts, a syncopated acousti-block part, and a shekere part, too! This will be the ensemble students will be tested on. Students will have the final world percussion test on Monday! We have been keeping a "word of the day" list throughout this unit. This list went home with students on Thursday. If you would like a copy of this list please click HERE. Students played a review game in class on Friday working with these words and will be tested on them Monday. The students will also be tested on the parts of the "High Life" ensemble, too! Be sure to check ParentPortal early next week for your child's test grades!
Have a great weekend! Check back next Friday to see us begin our guitar unit! :)
