Welcome back from your "stay-cation!"
We are continuing our focus on musical instruments. This week will build off the work from Week 2, so if you missed doing it, please go back and do week 2 first.
Overview
Grades K/1: We are continuing to learn about orchestral instruments.This week's focus is the woodwind family, and its instruments: flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon (and maybe some others hiding in there, too!).
For grades 2, 3, 4: We are learning/ reviewing basic chords on the ukulele and a strumming pattern.
Lastly: If you have done the assigned work, check out this week's "Sweet Treat," a musical offering that's just too good to pass up!
As a reminder, all specialists have office hours. I am available Monday- Friday 11am- 1pm. Please feel free to email me at jessicaclayton@mpsvt.org, and if you want to meet over video, I can schedule a time for us to do that as well. Have a wonderful week!
