What's going on in February?
So, in one of our shortest months of the school year - what's going on in the Music Department?
Lower School
Well, the lower school are working on each of their individual topics through singing, theory, games and performance!
Pre K & Kindergarten are both working on Music with Movement. Pre-K are experimenting with tempo and dynamics by playing fun rhythm and movement games, whereas Kindergarten are doing selections from 'Free to be you and me' with really fun actions to go alongside!
1st Grade are continuing with their Music and Color project. They've just finished creating their masterpieces and this month we will be 'translating' them into music with classroom instruments. Super fun!
2nd Grade are hurtling head first into musical theory. Through a variety of ways we're learning the treble and bass clefs, creating our own rhymes and we'll continue with our partner songs, instilling the idea of two-part singing!
3rd Grade are continuing with the Carnival of the Animals. They're doing a super fun composition project based upon fantasy animals that they created. They will also continue their listening of Saint-Saëns' masterpiece!
4th Grade have just been to Africa. They're now visiting NYC with a little taster of Broadway music, and the next stop on our whirlwind journey is China followed by Brazil (which is really exciting as we actually have a student with Brazilian heritage in our class) and Samba!
The lower school are all working towards a performance in June, where we show what we've learned to all the parents!
Middle School
Grades 5, 6 & 7 are getting on really well with their instrument. Especially the 5th, who have only been learning for a few months. They're sounding great, and we can't wait to play for the parents in June!
In addition to brass banding - we are also learning all about key signatures, time signatures as well as improving our listening week after week!
8th grade have started rehearsals for 'The Little Mermaid Jr.' and they are doing swimmingly well (I apologize for the pun!) and it is shaping up to be an amazing performance! The dates are May 8th and 9th (7.30pm) if you need to write that in your diary.
Extracurricularly we are doing amazing things. A brand new JUNIOR CABARET TROUPE has just been created for the 5th grade, and we are learning some really hard music which will be great. Cabaret Troupe is doing a great job on Honk Jr. and chapel choir are simply stunning - the best we've had in the last few years!
Have a lovely rest of February!

CREATURES OF THE DEEP Lyrics
3rd Grade Lyrics
CREATURES OF THE DEEP
No one comes here at all
No one sees us at all
In the half light of our ocean world
And the stillness around has a music,
A sound those above us have never heard
And we dance to that music divine
With a grace and a poise and an elegant line
And our world in your mem’ry you’ll keep
As we sing you to sleep
We’re the creatures of the deep
No one comes here at all
No one sees us at all
In the half light of our ocean world
And the stillness around has a music
A sound those above us have never heard
CREATURES OF THE DEEP
No one comes here at all
No one sees us at all
In the half light of our ocean world
And the stillness around has a music,
A sound those above us have never heard
And we dance to that music divine
With a grace and a poise and an elegant line
And our world in your mem’ry you’ll keep
As we sing you to sleep
We’re the creatures of the deep
No one comes here at all
No one sees us at all
In the half light of our ocean world
And the stillness around has a music
A sound those above us have never heard
