Music Department Notes
We are enjoying the second year using our new music books for
kindergarten through 5th grade and are excited about the possibilities
for use. The books are Silver-Burdett’s “Making Music” series. We live
in a technological world, and this series has several components that
can give students more experiences with technology. Our music book series has an online website for use and fun by your student(s): www.pearsonsuccessnet.com. Be looking for a letter coming home soon with instructions for registering.
The series consists
of:
• teacher’s editions
• big books in kindergarten and 1st grade
• student books for 2nd through 5th grade
• CDs of all songs and listening lessons
• computer composing program
• music lessons in Spanish and Asian languages
• CDs of folk dance, choreography, sign language, video library
• videos
• animated listening maps of musical compositions
• online teacher’s editions and student resources
The CDs are wonderful recordings,
very stylistically accurate in sound and provide a terrific variety of
styles and music from other countries. The lessons are fun and engaging
for the students and explore all the different musical concepts. We are
looking forward to a great year enjoying what this series has to offer.
