"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!

Indian Dance by Bela Bartok arranged by Jack Bullock

This is a fun song that helped us learn 2/4 time and 8th notes and rests.

Old Joe Clark performed by the 6th grade Orchestra

This is a fun little Bluegrass song we just learned last week! Keller Hales opens it and Micah Harding does the finish - nice little solos!

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!

5th Grade Holiday Concert!

It was so fun to put the cellos, violas and violins together for the first time to play in the auditorium! Good job! Special thanks to my 8th grade orchestra AT's Emma Roundy and Payton Blackburn for helping in the classroom and in the concert!

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!

Glowing D Major Scale performed by the 6th Grade Orchestra

Who would think a D major scale could be this fun in 6th grade orchestra! Left over glow sticks are highly motivating! May "D" Force Be With You!

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!
