Our first week of music class will be spent getting into a routine and making sure students understand expectations. This will make our year run smoothly! We will be following the school wide PBIS matrix. Students will be held accountable in the music room just like they would in their home room class.
We will also start by singing together and getting to know each other through songs and music games. Music is a time where students should feel comfortable and support one another. I believe that students should learn in a safe environment where they feel like they can share if they need to. I do not force solo performances on any of my students, although they may sing in groups based on rows, boy groups, girl groups, etc.
Many parents and students have been asking about 2014-2015 Cub Singers. Cub Singers is an auditioned group for 3rd and 4th grade students. Students who have shown interest should be coming home with a packet informing of all you need to know about the performance group (tentative schedule, expectations, attendance policy, permission form to audition, audition rubric, etc). The audition rubric has a couple questions for your student to answer and return, along with the permission form. I will fill out the rest of the rubric during your child's audition. Please feel free to ask me any questions. tiffany.hill@spartanburg2.k12.sc.us
