Frozen Theme Song

Everybody is in love with the latest Disney movie "Frozen". At our school the students love the theme song.

 

A group of girls from the 3rd grade have typed out the words and practiced singing it together.

 

Here is a video of them singing together.

 

WOW! You sound so good girls!

Pianos, Synthesizers, and Virtual Keyboards

If you attend our school, then you know how much we love playing Music on the piano. We even have some Synthesizers (or Electric Keyboards) set up in our Music Room for students to use.

 

But sometimes we like to show off our Tech Savvy so we use the Online Virtual Keyboard to play our songs. Check out these 4th grade students who are playing the song 'Ebeneezer Sneezer' on the Virtual Keyboard.

 

Very nice 4th graders!

 

 

 

 

 

Variations

When we looked up the definition of the word Variation using Google search we found out that it means "a different or distinct form or version of something". (Thank you Google :)

 

So these 5th Grade girls decided to take the Song 'Hot Cross Buns' and play it and differently. They practiced and made their own version of the song. Check out their Variation in this video.

 

Great job girls!

3rd Grade Chorus

Every Monday afternoon a great group of 3rd Graders stays after school to learn more about singing, dancing, and performing in an ensemble. They are currently working on a great Jazz song called "Straighten Up and Fly Right!".

 

3rd Graders Rock!!!
