Hornet Singers have been learning the basics of what a successful choir rehearsal looks like and how that benefits the ensemble. We have been preparing for our Fall Fine Arts Night coming up in October with our theme or "River Songs".
8th grade Arts Alive has been exploring the world of orchestral instruments and will continue to do so into next week. We have been diving into the different instrument families and even had a student demonstration on the cello!
If you ever have any questions, concerns, or comments, feel free to contact me at llehman@fulton58.org.
Hornet Pride Choir (7th grade) is diligently preparing the Fall Concert, scheduled for late October. We will be singing in English and Japanese! We are also excited to showcase two students in specials roles: 1 as a percussionist, and 1 dancer.
6th grade Arts Alive is wrapping up our study of music notation through note and rest values! Next, we will review reading pitches in treble clef. After that, we are learning a new skill - reading bass clef!
