Mrs. Crippen's class playing Latin rhythms

We've been studying different types of music from all over the world and this week we were learning about Latin rhythms and dance.

Mandalorian Theme song played by the 8th grade Chamber Orchestra

We loved playing the Mandalorian Theme song! There are some tricky rhythms in this song and our class rocked it! It's a different arrangement because it is all strings but so fun to play on our instruments! The percussion is the sound of students tapping the top of their instruments and the base of their stands. I didn't film the class playing it because the synchronization license to do so costs hundreds of dollars - however, I was able to obtain a mechanical license (you can see it at the end of the video) so that we could put the audio recording on our school website for a limited time.

"Scoo Bee Doo song" composed by Susie Davies-Splitter and Phil Splitter

We had such a great time playing this song and improvising (making it up as you go) with it. Jazz is so much fun!

Blues for You

This is an audio performance video of the 8th grade music AT's performing a piece called Blues for Four by Mike Christiansen. There are four guitar parts to this song. They did a nice job and as you can see in the video I am going to use their recording as part of my unit on the Blues and Jazz. Thanks ladies!

7th Grade Orchestra - Thank You Reagan Academy

7th Grade Orchestra performing "Simple Gifts" and "Hymn of Praise." We are thankful for the amazing teachers and staff at Reagan Academy that make it great! Happy Thanksgiving!

7th Grade Orchestra's Spooky Story

This story was written a few years ago by former Reagan student Ava Mickelson. We thought it would be fun to video it this year!

Liberty Bell March by Denise Gagne

3rd and 4th grade will be virtually performing this for Veteran's Day this year. Please have your student practice with any kind of stick you can find including pencils or pens. If possible, please have them wear a red, white or blue polo (collared) shirt on Mon. Oct. 12th (Russon's Class),Wed. Oct. 21st (Crowder's class) and Thursday Oct. 22nd (Bursey's class). 4th grade please wear a polo shirt on Mon. Oct. 12th and Oct. 19th. This helps us look sharp and professional for the video! They are amazing! Thanks!

4th Grade Music AT's Drumming
