Thank you to everyone who attended our Fall Concert! The students have enjoyed watching their performances in class this week, and have been evaluating their performances and their audience behavior. Most classes have also had a free choice day since the concert, and have been working on audience behavior as their classmates perform.
This week, 5th grade started a unit on samba batucada, also known as the percussive side of samba. In the coming weeks, they will be learning to play and improvise in this exciting musical style.
Next week, 4th grade will bring home recorders. They have reviewed the notes they learned last year, and will be learning notes with the left hand and more complex rhythms.
Students in grades K-4 have begun to learn "Phleng Wan Koet," a birthday song from Thailand. Hopefully, we will learn the words well enough to sing it at a Monday morning assembly in the coming weeks.

About Ms. Katie
- Ms. Katie
- I am the music teacher at John Stanford International School, and I am honored to be here! I know it will be a wonderful year in music. I believe each child has a talent for music in their own special way, and it is my job to help them discover their musical gift. In order to do this, the students will be taking part in a variety of music activities. These are designed to help each child develop musical skills and to know and appreciate many different types of music. Music from around the world is incorporated into every lesson. If you or your child has a song, instrument, dance, or other musical experience for the class, please come in and share with us! The musical activities we will be focusing on include: singing, playing instruments, creating music, listening to music, and moving to music. All of these activities are part of the National Standards for Music Education and are written into our school district's music curriculum. If you are interested in learning more about what your child is doing in music, I invite you to stop by the music room and join in.
