Zoom Meeting ID instructions for Orchestra students

Hello Orchestra Parents and students!

I look forward to video conferencing with your students on Mondays and Wednesdays and wanted to share the code that is my meeting room.  Instead of me emailing everyone just before the meeting, all your student will need to do every time is enter this 9 digit code that is my digital classroom.  Your student will of course need to be on the zoom app or go to zoom.com to “Join a meeting.” When they click on Join a Meeting they will be prompted to enter a Meeting ID.  I emailed my meeting ID to you on March 29th.  If you can't find it please email me.  After they put those numbers in -- it should direct them to a waiting room and I will allow them into the classroom at their designated time.  Classes will be about 40 minutes long like they usually are at school.  Please have your student’s instrument, music book and any music they were recently playing in class nearby because we will be playing together.  Please have them login to their class at their designated class time.  Here is the schedule for Mondays and Wednesdays:

9am – 5th grade orchestra

10am – 4th period

11am – 5th period

12pm - 7th period

 

6pm option on Monday nights is for students who are not allowed computer access during the day.  Please email me to be invited to that class.

Also I want to stress this is only one option for your student to get points for orchestra.  It is not mandatory that they participate in video conferencing to receive full points for the week.  Please refer to my website for other options to receive credit.

 

Thank you!

Stay Healthy!

Stay Falcon Strong!

Rock On!

5th and 6th grade Noteflight Assignment for week of March 23 -27

5th and 6th graders can get on Noteflight and do this activity. Make sure you save it to the cloud so I can grade it! If you have any questions please email or video chat with me during your class video conference.

Orchestra student options for online learning

Options for receiving full 50 points each week for online learning.  If you complete one of these options by the end of each week by Friday at 1pm - you will get full attendance and grade points for the week.  You may do more than one option if you would like.

  1. A specific Noteflight assignment will be given each Monday. This is not just getting on and composing whatever you want.  This is a specific activity assigned to your class period that must be completed by the Fri. of that week by 1pm.
  2. The student or parent fills out a google sheet link I send on Friday morning telling me how many minutes their student practiced each day that week. At least 15 minutes each school day.
  3. A video of yourself playing an exercise in the book or specific measures from a concert piece you’ve been working on. This needs to be emailed to me before Fri. by 1pm.
  4. Video conference with me and your classmates once during the week. I will email an invitation with a link for you to click on a few minutes before each conference.  During this video conference I will teach a Noteflight concept to the class and then we will look at where we are at in our String Basics books and talk about it.  We can listen to one another play one exercise for the group if they chose but you don’t have to if you don’t want to.  Here is the schedule of my video conferences:

Every Mon/Wed

9am – 5th grade orchestra

10am – 4th period

11am- 5th period

12pm – 7th period

 I will offer one evening video conferencing time for students whose parents won’t allow them computer time until they get home from work on Mondays from 6-7pm.  They will need to email me that they would like to video conference me that evening and I will send a link.

Stay Safe!

Stay healthy!

Stay Falcon Strong!
