The Woodlands MES Chamber Orchestra Performance
Our fifth grade chamber orchestra and jazz band were invited to perform and collaborate with our neighbors, The Woodlands! This was a very exciting opportunity for all parties involved. After our students performed holiday songs for members of their BLOOM program students had the opportunity to decorate holiday cookies with the Woodlands members.
BLOOM (Building Lifestyles for Ongoing Opportunities & Movement ) is a day program that can also transition into a weeklong, overnight summer camp. Campers are Ages 13-21 and they meet two Saturdays a month 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. BLOOM is a reverse inclusion program for adolescents with and without disabilities, focusing on transition skills, social skills, communication skills and peer interaction through sports, recreation, nutrition and leadership activities. The program focuses on the development of transition skills and healthy lifestyles designed to develop the self-determination, empowerment, overall health and leadership for adolescents in transition.
Adolescents with disabilities are each paired with a peer without a disability and together they cultivate friendships, work on social skills, foster positive attitudes, develop life-long skills and enhance their understanding and acceptance of individuals with varying backgrounds and abilities.

Below are instructional videos that students are encouraged to watch and practice with at home. It only takes a few minutes to watch a video or two. The more repetition they have the faster they will have that beautiful tone!
These videos were created by Dr. Bob Gillespie (author of Essential Elements for Strings books).
