Please look in upcoming newsletters and Friday folders for information in regards to your students performance!!

Quavermusic is a FREE website for your students to practice and apply their musical skills.  Your student will have to register to have an account, and we request that you use their lunch/IXL number as the username and password so that they may access their work at school with the class, if need be. This is a wonderful and engaging curriculum which has been generously purchased for us by the county!  Please log in with your child and check it out.  Feel free to email me any questions should you have them.

Kindergarten:  How do you know you are singing at the same time as your classmates?  What can help you figure that out?
First Grade:   Where could you see a lullaby and where could you see a march?  How do you know?
Second Grade:  What is tempo?  How does tempo affect a piece of music?
Third Grade:  How do you know when you are playing/moving to a note value correctly?
Fourth Grade:  How can you tell if you are playing a rhythm that you read correctly?
Fifth Grade:  How can you tell when a song changes chords?

     We are in need of some crafty parents to help with backdrops for the upcoming first, second, and third grade performances.  Please contact me as soon as possible if you are interested! 

Thank you!

     Welcome to the new school year!  Students in Ms. Weingart's music class spent week one reviewing expectations and consequences, as well as procedures of the music room.  In the lower grades we spent time playing a music game to warm up our brains.  In the upper grades we had time to have our first experience this year on instruments.   Please ask your students what will be expected of them in music class!
     Orff information is coming home, I hope, by Labor Day weekend.  If your student is interested, please keep Thursdays available (although we will not be rehearsing weekly this year).

     This is the view I got to look at during the last week of summer break, from Glacier National Park in Montana. I had a great time exploring the west and am looking forward to getting the school year started back here in Roswell.

     Please take note of the information on the announcements page, especially if you are new to Roswell North.  Please also note that there will be information on my door for those willing or able to contribute time and/or resources to our classroom this year.  We are in need of some good volunteers!

      Please contact me if you have any questions about your child's music education!  I'm looking forward to another great year!
