Happenings in Music

 

WOW!!! Thanks for the new activboard we have in music! Kindergarten and First are working on one and two sounds per beat. Second grade is studying January/February holiday songs. Third grade is being challenged with the Orff instruments while fourth grade has reviewed how sounds, vibrations and how music and science can integrate and become one. Fifth grade is reviewing instruments of the orchestra, writing rhythms, singing partner songs.

FIFTH GRADE MEETS THE ASO

Fifth Grade students are preparing to go to the symphony. Students will hear music by some of the greatest composers including Orff, Dvorak, Shostakovich and a fairly young composer, Jennifer Higdon. Students will hear the Grammy Award winning Atlanta Symphony Orchestra at the new Cobb Energy Center located in Cobb County. Students have been ask to dress nicer for this event. Any parents who have questions, please contact cindy.morrison@cobbk12.org.
