The Beluga Whales had a wonderful visit from the Symphonic Band this week!  The students listened and identified the trumpet, saxophone, tuba, snare drum, xylophone, and flute.  The students were so excited to hear the Symphonic Band students perform for them and asked lots of questions.  Then the Beluga Whales played the piano for the older students and received a little extra help and suggestions on their pieces.  It was a wonderful experience

  

  

The Kindergarten, 1st & 2nd grade musical “Stone Soup” will take place on Wednesday, March 14 at 8:45 a.m.  The students are working hard to prepare for this exciting event. Please save the date! Also, the Class Piano Recital for Grades 1-4 will be next week on the baby grand piano at Quest Academy.

  

The Sea Turtles and Seals learned a Japanese folk song called “Sei Sei Sei” and learned the accompanying hand clapping game.  The students enjoyed finding new partners and singing the song at fast and slow tempos.  The students also played handbells to the song “Find a Penny,” exploring sol-mi with singing and on handbells.

 

     

The Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten students are doing an amazing job with the sound shapes.  The students loved listening to the different sounds that the instruments make.  They played a variety of challenging rhythms on the sound shapes.

The Harmonizers are doing an amazing job learning the Latin piece “Da Pacem Domine” and the three-part Spiritual “Yonder Come Day.”  The students have been singing and playing the violin, drums, and keyboards during our rehearsals!
