Teacher Info...

GREAT YEAR........lots of cool stuff going on in K-8 RCS MUSIC!   General 
music classes are busy studying music history, learning how to read and play 
rhythms, singing seasonal songs, and playing a variety of instruments, with 
an occasional ROCK BAND 2 diversion!  Never a dull moment...

THANKS TO ALL for your participation in NORTH POLE RADIO HOUR!  It was a fun 
addition to our holiday season this year---THANK YOU parents and students 
for "going the distance" on our extra-curricular rehearsals and 
performances.  Your students are learning about self-discipline and what 
putting together a big project like that entails, about working with others, 
communication and listening as well as, of course, all of the 
musical and technical lessons for the actual performance.  LIFE LESSONS:  
that's what school is all about!!

TALENT SHOW '10 will be THURSDAY MARCH 4th @ 7:00 P.M.during MUSIC IN OUR 
SCHOOLS MONTH!  AUDITIONS will be Thursday February 4th AFTER SCHOOL.  START 
GETTING READY...this year's show will have only 2 categories:  GROUP CATEGORY
(2 or more) and 4th-8th grade category, compteting for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd 
place prizes. 

SPRING SEASON is shaping up to be a great time of musical opportunities! RCS 
SINGERS will begin after Christmas to work on some fun AND meaningful music 
for the winter and spring, 3rd Graders will experience the symphony, plus 
will do a musical in May!! 

MISSION FOR THE CLASS

Music class will be a combination of interactive learning activities 
including listening, singing, moving, playing instruments, performing, and 
using computers and technology.  The mission of all music classes, K-8, is 
to create interest in and understanding of music in our world...and to 
discover the JOY OF MUSIC!
