Week of September 22

Dear OLQM Students and Families,
This week I will introduce the third grade to block flutes/ recorders and each will receive their own recorder with a case and cleaning rod. Please note that these instruments will be kept in the music room and sent home once a week for cleaning. I am excited to show the students a new instrument, and we will also begin to learn basics of sight reading of notes using the smart board.
In upper grades we will continue with new repertoire for block flute, as well as preparations for several upcoming events which will feature choral music- Hispanic Heritage month as well as Feast of St Francis for which we are preparing a beautiful music program.
Younger students will be using percussion instruments this week, participating in rhythm games which are wonderful for further developing fine coordination and detail oriented focus in many fields in other subjects.
Please note that following instructions and being respectful towards peers and teachers is the most important foundation for  marks/grades in my class. You will begin seeing marks/grades that correspond to that standard.
Please review he lesson plan for this upcoming week if you would like to find out the details of our musical endeavors.
