Parents,

Great things are about to happen in music class. There will be trips to the Nashville Symphony for grades 1-4, many music concerts, possible songwriting events, after school choir for fourth graders, Modern Rock Band, and various ways for your children to be involved in music at Dan Mills. I would like all parents to fill out this contact form here: http://tinyurl.com/kzrcl7y. This form helps me keep in touch with you! I am looking forward to an amazing year with your wonderful children!

Noodle Notes!!! I got this idea lesson from Tracy King. My students loved working in groups making rhythmic compositions.

I loved hanging out with our new MNPS Little Kids Rock teachers, last Saturday. I had a blast helping train the teachers with Mark Hale.

It's a new year and I am at a new school. I have loved meeting some of the parents and students at our "Meet the Teacher" night. The faculty here at Dan Mills are superb.

I thought I would share some of my bulletin boards from present to past. I wish I could find some of my other favorites, but I've been teaching too long. Lol

Students can work by themselves matching the eggs, or with partners. I used a Sharpie and so far it's not rubbed off. Let's see how long they last.

This week I have used flags to teach the form of a song. The students loved using the flags! It was a great way to see if the students could really identify the sections of a song. They did extremely well! It was a blast!
