Week 9 October 24 - 28, 2011

Seventh Grade - Students are participating in the NS Music Class Sing Off!!! Students elected to be either a judge or a singer for this activity. Singers sang their first song on Monday. Judges listened to them and judged them on a set criteria. Two were eliminated from the morning class and six moved to round two. The afternoon class will follow the same procedure.

Tues. We will follow some of the same criteria and eliminate more students. If you are a singer you must be prepared each day with a new song.

Wed. Final elimination. We will write a 5x5 on our experience as judges or as singers.

Thursday - Students will play a piece of music using the boomwackers. They will use the skills they already developed reading music.

Friday - We will be singing a piece of two part harmony music.

Goal - To develop our listening skills and singing ability using skills we have already been using.
