Fine Arts Weekly Update
Week of 4/27-5/1
Band 7- Ms. Tokos
Band 8- Mr. Stevison
This week in 8th Grade Band, students were expected to keep practicing their instrument. Each day in google classroom, there is a suggested practice assignment including warm-ups and a “mystery” tune. Families are encouraged to help figure out the “mystery” tunes. This past week, students either had to submit a checkoff or complete the music terms quiz on google classroom.
Next week, students should continue practicing their instruments and checking in on google classroom daily. They also have the option to attend the Zoom band classes if they need some help with anything. We will continue to do some ear training and play Name That Tune through Zoom this week! If students or parents have any questions, the best way to contact me is through email at stevison.joe@wgcloud.org.
Choir 7/8- Mrs. Gado
This week, we introduced piano (virtual or live), how to find the notes, and how to apply that to music (Dust in the Wind). We also introduced what a lead sheet is and how to read it. This is a project that will take some time and practice, so we will continue with it next week. Nobody is expected to be ready to go on tour at the end of the week! Practice makes progress! Zooms will be to answer questions, but also to get back to some of what we love as a class: warm ups, singing (and teaching some about chords), rounds, rhythms. I miss your faces!
Keep singing. Keep dancing. Keep Creating. I miss you terribly! Hope to see you at the Zooms.
If students or parents have any questions, the best way to contact me is through email at gado.carin@wgcloud.org or gado.carin@wgmail.org
