Music
Mr. Guarino
Keyboard
Students in the Keyboard Class have been learning how to play scales and chords on their instruments. Often, they are given the opportunity to pick which popular songs that they work on. Their teacher will show them how to play the popular song and he will apply music theory to explain how the song is constructed.
Guitar
Students in the Guitar Class have been learning how to play their first songs. They are continuing to develop their understanding of the strings and frets of the guitar. They have also been working hard on coordinating both of their hands to play the correct notes of their songs to a drum beat.
Drums
Students in the Drums Class will learn the basics of using a drum set. They will work on their coordination and use music theory to understand various rhythms and progressions. They will also have opportunities to learn about other forms of percussion such as bongos, conga drums, maracas and tambourines.
