TK/K/1/2 Vocal Music January/February Update
TK/K/1/2 Vocal Music January/February Update
Happy Winter! In music class during the month of February we have been honoring Black History month by learning about influential black musicians as well as learning songs highlighting Black History. Be sure to look for "Ask Me" sheets for the songs below in the coming weeks, and ask your student to sing or dance the songs linked below!
If your student is in TK or Kindergarten, we have been learning about Trombone Shorty and his song, "Hurricane Season." We have also been reading a book about Trombone Shorty, which is linked here, read aloud by Angela Basset. In January we learned about Mozart's opera "The Magic Flute," and we performed the "Queen of the Night Aria," which has become many students' favorite dance!
In January, TK and Kindergarten students also learned the song "Oh Ricka Bamboo." In February, we learned "Kye Kye Kule," an echo song from Ghana. Finally, we have been having fun pretending to be horses as well as many other animals with our song "High Stepping Horses." Look for a song map of "High Stepping Horses" coming home in the coming weeks!
If your student is in 1st grade, in January we practiced the echo song Come Along, as well as the partner dance from Russia, "Sasha". In February we have been learning about Stevie Wonder and dancing to his song "Uptight." We also have been discussing songs that would have been sung during Civil Rights marches and protests, and we learned the song "I'm on my way...to the Freedom Land." To learn more about the history of "I'm On My Way...", click here. In 2nd grade, we have been learning about Aretha Franklin and dancing to her song "Respect." We also have been practicing singing another round, singing in Spanish and French, "Martinillo/Frére Jacques." If you have any questions about the vocal music program, feel free to reach out directly to Ms. Koplinka-Loehr at: daniellekoplinkaloehr@ccusd.org

ABBA’s hits tell the hilarious story of a young woman’s search for her birth father. This sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago. The story-telling magic of ABBA’s timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter, and friendship, creating an unforgettable show. A large cast, non-stop laughs and explosive dance numbers combine to make Mamma Mia! a guaranteed smash hit for any theatre. A mother. A daughter. Three possible dads. And a trip down the aisle you’ll never forget! The CCHS all student Live Pit Orchestra will be performing at each show. You don’t want to miss this exciting musical!
