Jr Cards Chorus

Jr Cards Chorus is a group of 4th/5th grade students who LOVE singing, dancing, and drama! We are currently meeting after school and learning some songs and dances in preparation for a concert in September!

 When you see them onstage I think you will agree that they are Simply Outrageous Chorus Kids!

What is Rhythm?

We have been studying Rhythm this week in the Music Room. All music is made up of Rhythm, but do you really know what it is? The Jr Cardinals do!

 Rhythm is a pattern of sounds and silences. 

These Kindergartner's can play rhythms on percussion instruments.
