To Middle School Vocal Music Students:
Welcome to music!! We are looking forward to an exciting and musical semester at SMS! In this letter, we want to share with you some information concerning the upcoming semester.
CURRICULUM: It is our primary goal in vocal music at SMS to teach students to read the language of music. Just as one reinforces
the learning of a new language by speaking it, we will reinforce our music reading skills through singing. The skills learned in music class include not only note reading, music history, and vocal enhancement, but also teamwork, goal-setting, and self-discipline.
CONCERT: The students in the fall semester will participate in a winter concert at the SHS PAC on Dec 5th at 7 PM. This
will be a fun seasonal concert that allows us to share our music with you. Students need to be at the PAC (Performing Arts Center at SHS) at 6:00 PM. Students will wear a solid white shirt of any kind and black pants or skirt for this concert. Be looking for this now! We will have fun this year!
Supply List:
3 ring binder with about 20 pages of paper in it, to be left in the classroom.
Two or more pencils
Two highlighters
Box of kleenex
One package of sticky notes
Pencil bag
If you have any questions regarding vocal music or chorus, please contact me through e-mail at [email protected]
or by sending a note with your student.
Thank you!
