K5 Mix Chapel Special (Pianist - Lydia Myla)

We enjoyed hearing from the K5 Mix singing group yesterday in chapel. A special thank you to Lydia Myla, 6th Grade, for playing for them.

K5 Mix - Jadon Sanftner, Isabella Calderon, Laura Gong, Aunika Goltiao, Jathan Gilreath. 

Lower Elementary Girls Ensemble (1st & 2nd Grade)

Yesterday, the Lower Elementary Girls Ensemble performed in chapel. Though they would already get away with just being cute, they sounded so well too! (Also, big thanks to one of my piano students, Danielle Apusen, for being willing to play the piano for the group.)

We're Going to Play Recorders!

Dear Parents, Starting November, the 3rd – 5th Grade music classes will begin a unit of study that will include recorders. Learning to play the recorder is an invaluable experience as it aids your child in reading music, learning the fundamentals of playing an instrument, and playing as an ensemble. They will also be taught the responsibilities that come in playing and taking care of an instrument. A fee of $9.00 will be collected no later than October 20th. This fee will cover the expenses for the recorder, book with CD, and shipping. I will start collecting the recorder fee in your child’s music class starting October 6th. You may also drop off the fee at the office before the deadline. With learning an instrument, each student will be expected to practice the songs learned at home. It is recommended that they practice 10-15 minutes each day. If you do not wish to have your child participate in learning the recorder or if you have any questions, please email me at jessica.fanara@nvbschools.org. Sincerely, Mrs. Fanara
