Class Recitals

All grade levels with have class recitals during their last music class before winter break. This is an opportunity for students to share music that they work on outside of the classroom. Students must take private lessons on their instrument to share with the class (i.e...piano lessons). Students who sing in outside choruses (i.e...church, community choirs) may also share a song with the class. Band and Orchestra students are welcome to share with the class on their instrument. Students may use my piano or guitar, otherwise they must bring in their own instrument to school that day.

This is entirely optional! No one has to perform but it is a great opportunity to share musical talent with the class. The schedule is as follows...

Wednesday, December 19th
Kindergarten, First, Second & Fifth Grades

Friday, December 21st
Third & Fourth Grades
