Break time!

It's time for our February break, so you won't hear from us next week! Time for a week full of skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling. We'll be back in March! Thanks for viewing, you'll hear from us soon!

Sincerely,

The Rowdy Rockers

P.S.

We hope you like the audio samples we just included on our site. We can't figure out how to get the player off of auto-play, but oh well. You'll hear examples of our music classes, our band and our chorus warmups.

hello from the rowdy rockers of third and fourth grade. welcome to our blog! Mr. F. is our teacher. We have quite a few songs we know.

Today in 3rd and 4th grade music, we started by looking over our blog and thinking of things to add or remove. We like our blog so far!
Then we began to study major scale construction using phrases like whole steps and half steps. It's very difficult and advanced for our grade level but we're learning steadily! We didn't sing today but usually we do a lot of singing. Soon you will be able to hear songs right on our blog.

Greetings from 7th and 8th grade!

Finally, some snow!!!

Hello, we ARE the Rowdy Rockers... well, some of them from the 7th and 8th graders. We all attend a school in the White Mountains. In chorus, we're singing "ABC" by Michael Jackson, and an African piece called "Watu Wote". In band we've been sightreading many new songs, one of them titled "Westwind Overature". In music class, obviously if you've visited before, you've seen our glogs, we haven't done many of those lately, because we're working on building major scales on http://www.theviolincase.com/Scale/index.shtml. Also, we're composing pieces for our spring concert on Finale Notepad. Some samples are coming soon!

Here's what we worked on today.

Sincerely,
The Rowdy Rockettes
