May 21 - 31

Seventh and Eighth Grade- students will be "competing" in a good natured sing off.  We will have rounds and eliminations.  We will also be watching the musical Grease.  We will intersperse the musical with our singing rounds.  All students had the option to be a singer or a judge.  This is a great way for them to work on their listening skills.

Chorus Class - We will continue working on the audition piece for county and district chorus!

May 7 - 11

Seventh Grade - We are discussing Freedom Riders and the song "We Shall Overcome."  We are learning about different freedom riders and what purpose they played historically and how the song "We Shall Overcome," worked as an agent of change.  We will be creating our own verses to this song.

Eighth Grade - We officially started our Rock and Roll Unit.  We are discussing artists and bands.  The students are presenting their projects. 

Chorus Class - We are preparing for our spring production.  We are on stage using the microphones.

CHORUS AND BAND CONCERT on MAY 10th at 7:00 PM in the NSHS auditorium.  Art Show in the Lobby!  Extra Credit for anyone in my music classes that attends the concert.  See me after the show!

Seventh Grade - We will be working on our commercial.  Each student wrote a jingle.  We chose our favorite and are creating a commercial.  We will end the week using classroom percussion instruments and we will play rhythms with multicultural and rock pieces.
