Look Hooo Knows Their Scales!

The leaves may be falling outside, but they are going UP in the band room!  As a student shows mastery of a scale, his/her name goes on a leaf. As they show mastery of 7 scales, they get their own owl.  Keep up the great work!

Hooo knows their scales? This year's incentive to learn scales is our beautiful scale tree. As a student demonstrates mastery of a major scale, a leaf with their name is added to the branch.Look how many leaves we have already! Congratulations to Ethan for completing all 7 scales today! Thank you Mrs. Gigliotti for sharing your artistic talent to create this tree!

We had a successful performing arts kick off meeting on 9/2. Our ensembles have been rehearsing and are off to a great start. It's not too late to join. Please contact a music teacher if you are interested.

Welcome back!

Welcome back everyone! I am so excited to start the new school year! I had a great summer with my family. We traveled a bit and we watched and played lots of soccer. The World Cup added great fun to my family's summer! When I wasn't outside, I spent time practicing french horn, visiting with Ms. Kennedy and her sweet baby, Ruby Rose,  and reading as much as I could. I hope you had a great summer too!

Congratulations Ethan!

Ethan Duncan  was one of eighty Vermont students to submit an  original musical composition to Music-Comp (Music Composition Online Mentoring Program) this year. Ethan's masterpiece was  one of 25 student compositions  performed in concert with professional musicians on Wednesday, April 30, 2014 at the Ludlow Town Hall Auditorium in Ludlow, Vermont.
