This year we started with a study of Chinese music. We were able to perform "Weng Jian Vu" at the PTST meeting in September. It was a beautiful rendition with singing, instruments, and dancing. Thanks to Joey Casali for his recorder solo. We are now into a study of more complex rhythms, including syncopation. We are also enjoying a "Native American Rock Passing Game". After our great performance on the Christmas Program we started our unit on jazz. We are learning to improvise in a 12-bar blues style. On Feb. 13th we will go to Clemson to hear the C.U. Jazz Ensemble. See page 11 for details of the the Fifth grade instrument project. |
