00:19 Surprise Symphony! 6th grade orchestra

We have been learning the difference between F# and C natural. If you aren't distracted by how piano (quietly) we are playing - listen for it towards the end. Don't let our sFz (suddenly loud) surprise you!! We also learned how Haydn wrote the "Surprise Symphony" to wake up his sleeping audiences!

00:33 7th Grade Old Joe Clark

We all got a chance to play something different today! Students learned how to chord on the banjo, mandolin, and guitar. They also learned how to chord on the violin, pick slap on the bass and cello. You might see your student playing an instrument which isn't their typical instrument! Pretty fun!

00:33 Bluegrass day in 6th grade! -Old Joe Clark

Today students were offered the choice to play fiddle, bass, banjo, mandolin or guitar - all the Bluegrass instruments. You will see some students lined up behind the banjo, bass and mandolin because we all had to take turns using them so we played this song multiple times. Pretty fun to be part of a big Bluegrass band!
