Raz Kids,  book assigned for the week of Jan 30 - Feb 2 

Notes from the Music Room

 

Notes from the Music Room

 

I am happy to say that we are moving along with the preparation of the music for the Spring Concert in March.  Please keep an eye out for an email in the next week asking for help from our wonderful volunteer community.  I will be needing help with props and other performance essentials. 

 

The kindergarten students are learning a new song with very simple vocabulary words:

 

Hola amigo mio y

Cómo estás tú?

Mucho gusto

 

We will also be working on simple steps for the Mexican folk dance la Raspa.

 

The Grade 1s are learning two Venezuelan folk songs:

The first song is:

 

Los chimichimitos estaban bailando el coro corito

Tamboré

Los chimichimitos estaban bailando el coro corito

Tamboré

Que baile la niña tamboré

Que baile el niñito tamboré

Que baile la gata tamboré

Que baile el gatito tamboré

Los chimichimitos estaban bailando el coro corito

Tamboré

Los chimichimitos estaban bailado el coro corito

Tamboré

Que baile la vieja tamboré

Que baile el viejito tamboré

Que baile la mona tamboé

Que baile el monito tamboré

 

Our Grade 2 students are busy working on the instrumentation for our Guatemalan song Vamos a la Mar.

 

Our Grade 3 students are becoming exerts at playing all three different xylophone parts for our song El Barreño.

 

Our Grade 4 students are creating a very exciting instrumental accompaniment part for their song Al Tambor with the djembe drum, the xylophone and the ukulele.

 

The Grade 5 students are working very hard at the lyrics for the Zarzuela song La Tarantula.  Please remind your child to visit his teacher’s Google classroom to work on the difficult pronunciation of the lyrics to this song.  This song will be performed at our March concert as well as at the Jubilee for our Que Pasa concert in May.  Details will follow in the next few weeks.
