Music

Posted on behalf of Marla who had technical difficulties

We were very busy working on our Halloween songs for the festivities.  After some exploration, the students chose to develop “Ghost of John.” We learned that it can be a 4 part round and so we practiced that! We also discussed the difference between a major and minor scale and the emotions each produce.  “Ghost” is in minor and has an eerie sound.  Students chose to choreograph the 4 lines of the text; each line had 4 or 5 students in the group.  Finally, we put our elements together for the performance. We sang the song first in unison, then in a 4 part round and third, in unison with each line being danced at its turn.  It was an enjoyable and successful group effort.
