For Glee Club 2016

Hey, Glee Clubbers!

Our first meeting was great!  I am very excited for this session of Glee.  I think we will sing a ton of songs-- some you are familiar with and some older ones I'd like to share with you.  They will all be fun, I know it!

Please prepare yourself for next Monday by studying your lyrics of the 4 songs we went over today.  Please do not lose your lyrics.  We will have folders soon so that it will be even easier to keep track of things.  Here are some YouTube recordings of our latest songs.  If you ever find that a video has a lyric or two that is different from ours, still go along with ours.
REMEMBER:  Think about what you are singing.  Get into it and have fun!


"Tom's Diner" (Suzanne Vega)*** We will be splitting these lyrics up and doing some backup parts, vocal percussion, claps and snaps.  This will be a cappella. :)

"Hit the Road Jack" (Ray Charles)*** We will be diving into at least two groups for this.

"Rather Be" (Clean Bandit featuring Jess Glynne)- We will have 1 or 2 people sing the high part at the end while all else are singing the chorus.  We will sing this with the karaoke version eventually.

"Love Yourself" (Justin Bieber)-- I will play piano for this one.

5th Grade Recorder Help

5th Graders!  Here is a recording of "Winter Wonderland."  It begins with both parts playing together.  After that, just part 1 is recorded.  After that, you can find part 2.  So, you may want to do a little fast forwarded.  Sorry for any inconvenience, though I think you can handle it. :)

Some more help for A Cappella Club :)

Hey, A Cappella Club!

Here's a rough recording of the two main parts for Rudolph.  Please practice the parts you did at our last meeting.  Jacob, go ahead throw in some beat boxing the second time through the song like we had tried.  It will be more and more fun the tighter we get!

Kindergarten is Preparing Christmas Songs!

I apologize, because we have done quite a few things lately that I have not posted about.  However, lately we have been getting ready and excited for our upcoming Christmas concert on the 13th of December!  I hope everyone has a very happy Thanksgiving. :)  And if your child would like to show you or practice our songs at home, here are some rough recordings to sing along with:

Preschool is Preparing for Their Christmas Concert!

The preschoolers have actually been doing quite a bit in music class about which I have failed to post.  I am sorry about that and will be sure to review some of what we did over Halloween soon, in case you need a break from Christmas music.  :)  In the meantime, Christmas has been our focus lately.  Here are some rough recordings of the songs your children will be performing, in case they want to practice at home.  ;)  Have a happy Thanksgiving!

HALLELUJAH--- PK and K sing the chorus while older children come in to sing the verses.

3rd Grade Concert Preparation

All third graders have a music packet with the lyrics to their Christmas songs and some recorder materials.  Not all will play recorder at the concert, but all will certainly be comfortable to perform later in the year.  Here are some rough recordings of their songs to sing along with:

NAVIDAD, NAVIDAD

Hope everyone has a lovely Thanksgiving!  I'm looking forward to making the final concert push soon after.  3rd Grade sounds great!

Thank you,

Ms. Fox
