Our First Music Field Trip is This Week!

Hello GE Families,

I am very pleased to announce that the students will take their first music field trip this Tuesday and Wednesday!  Monthly "music field trips" is a new program I started where the students will go on a "trip" to the sanctuary or fellowship hall and hear musicians from the church or school play their instruments.  I want the students to see first hand what different instruments look like, sound like, and how they are played.  We have been learning about playing your instrument soft/loud, crescendo/decrescendo, and the difference between major and minor chords.  The musicians will demonstrate these concepts on their instruments as well for the students.  

For our first music field trip, the very talented Kathy Forsberg, Littleton UMC organist, will be playing for the students in the sanctuary.  Thank you, Kathy!  

In class, we will be learning the difference between high notes and low notes.  The students will practice high and low notes through games we will play on the piano.  We will also learn some fun songs about the presidents, the color silver and the letter Ll.

Ms. Kimberly
