Ensembles Make Harmony By Working Together



We are moving, playing our pitched instruments in C pentatonic (Ask your child about burgers and fries if they are in Mrs. Carpenter's or Renata's classes), warming up soprano recorders in Renatta's class and working on music literacy with rhythm.

We will be attending one UMS concert this year as a school. Susan's classes and Renata's classes will also be attending the Ann Arbor Symphony's Youth Concert in March. I'll let you know more about that soon.

We will "play" new instuments on Wednesday that are really old and well-weathered: railroad spikes! Anita's class and Elaine's class are taking turns being the beat leader.

Soon we will learn a piece of music from Northern Africa. We'll share at our dinner in October. It's so good to be making music with these young musicians! -Jan
