Fun in Music Class

Hello, Parents! Since it’s Spring out now, and we’ve been heading into Spring Break, the 1st grade students have been learning to play and sing some Spring-y songs in music class. We’ve been working hard to learn the note names So and Mi, and have worked on reading real music! Today we videotaped ourselves singing and playing “Bee, Bee, Bumblebee” on the step bells. I hope you enjoy watching your child sing and play with her/his classmates! -Mr. Drahos
