First and foremost, I just want to thank all of the students, teachers, and parents for a very successful Christmas Program. CLS is an amazing place where we can come together as a community to celebrate the birth of our Savior, and this year's program felt like the perfect start to our Christmas season, and the perfect end to our semester.
Our music classes this semester have some exciting things in store! In 2nd and 3rd grade, we will begin a new recorder curriculum called, "Recorder Karate." Students will learn how to play the recorder and the basics of reading music, and will be rewarded throughout the unit with Recorder Karate Belts!
Our 7th graders will be starting a unit on piano, in which we will utilize the school's iPads and iPad apps in order to teach our students the basics of piano. Our 8th graders will start a unit on guitar as well, in which the will learn the parts of the guitar, and the basic fundamentals to reading guitar music.
While all of these exciting things are happening, our Kindergarteners and First graders will be taking a tour of "Brass Land" in order to continue learning the different families of instruments. They will also be preparing special music for their chapel service during National Lutheran School's Week at the end of this month.
I am very excited for this coming semester, and I look forward to the learning that will take place!
