Here’s a fun video about Mozart:

Here’s a fun way to get a paw:
According to the video, would Mozart have written more music if he had a computer to help him? Answer here in the comments if you would like a paw.

Tell me your practice plan (what you’ll practice, and for how long) for your talent show audition.
Lafayette is buzzing with excitement about next week.
To celebrate Leap Day, the 1st grade is performing a musical called, “A Year with Frog and Toad,” based on the series of early reader books starring Frog and Toad. Parents, friends, and families are invited to watch their 1st graders perform at either 2:00 or 2:30 (see the flier that was sent home) on Wednesday, the 29th.
To celebrate the birthday of Dr. Seuss, the second graders will be performing Seussical the Musical Jr.! The performance for Mrs. Vicker’s class will be at 2:00 and Mrs. Peterson’s class at 2:30 on Thursday, March 1st. Rumor has it there may also be an encore performance so that other students have the opportunity to see.
HUGE thanks to the parents, staff, and students who helped with the set and props! I can’t wait!
Oh, what a back-log I have of “What’s your problem?” videos! I promise to get more up soon. In the mean time, the first person to post a comment saying “Hi!” on the MOZART MYSTERY page gets a paw from me.

Woops, you didn’t read “March Madness” did you? Hey, it’s only January and this isn’t about basketball. No, we’re talking about the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Would you like to listen again to that Turkish March, Rondo alla Turca? Check out THIS LINK, and read a little more about Mozart. Don’t forget to click the “Hear the Music” link to actually hear the song!

“Go My Son” Native American Sign Language
Dear 3rd Graders,
Above is the link to the song and Sign Language we are learning for the performance on December 8th. Right now, it’s download only, but it’s safe! (December 8th is one of my VERY FAVORITE days, by the way. Can you guess why?)
Also, this site has cool videos:

Welcome to Music Tech! Today, you have a choice. Yes, you may scroll down and watch videos. You may also choose to leave a comment here. The first student from each class to leave a comment on this post saying “Hi Mrs. Lane!” will be rewarded a paw for responsibly reading and following directions.
You may also choose to play with virtual music water bottles here:
WATER BOTTLES
and tell me if you think we should build our own water bottle xylophones.
OR You may try “Pattern Block Rock” where every triangle gets one beat.

Finally, try Whack a Note to practice reading notes. Tell me what level you get to.
Thanks for a great week in music!
What? Three new videos within a week? Cuh-razy!
