In grade 5 music there’s been a lot on our plate. We have worked on our singing and school spirit by learning and performing the OJCS anthem. We’ve also been pushing forward on the recorder and developing skills on the instrument. The students have all been working on exercises in the practice book, performing playing tests for the class, and creating a video of themselves playing the recorder. And of course we’ve been having fun along the way!

Music Elective Class
In the music elective class, we have been working on our guitar playing and performing skills. The students began by learning guitar chords and creating an instructional video for their peers to view. The students have more recently been working towards a playing performance which they will play on the final day of class for their peers.
Music Elective Class
In the music elective class, we have been doing many great things! Students began by being introduced to the fundamentals of guitar playing, including proper playing technique, sound production, and chord knowledge. The students have been working on a project of playing a musical piece in front of their peers either as a group or individually. They have all been working well in class and exploring various ways to develop their own musicianship. I hope the students are having as much fun classes I am. Let’s keep up the great work!
Kindergarten Music
In kindergarten music class, we have been doing many great things! As you can see in the video, the students have been learning a warm-up song which they sing at the beginning of every class to get them in music mode. We have also been learning all about different kinds of instruments, some common and others less-so. As a class, we’ve been looking at identifying instruments, how to play the instruments, how the instruments produce sound, and other unique qualities about each of them. We’ve also been having a lot of fun and doing many games along the way. I hope the students are having as much fun classes I am. Let’s keep up the great work!

Grade 5 Music
In Grade 5 music class, we have been doing many great things! We began the year with the students presenting on various musical topics to the class. It has been a really great experience as I have realized that there are a lot of keen musicians in the group who have a definite interest in developing as an artist. We will begin learning the recorder as a class in the near future. This is going to be great for the students to apply musical knowledge that they will have already learned at school and develop their own musicianship through the instrument. I hope the students are having as much fun classes I am. Let’s keep up the great work!
