Lion King came in this week so that went out on Wednesday and we worked on it on Thursday. This piece has lots of fun rhythm challenges and encourages the students to work on their independence as we work to cover all 5 parts of the score. The song is a fun medley of various songs from the movie and we are having fun singing them along with playing them in class. Sound of Music is also coming along really well. We worked on our transitions between each of the songs in the medley to make sure they were smooth and quick. Down to the River has been a good change from the rest of our music as it is slower and more lyrical in style. Since we played it last year, this year we are working on perfecting the style of the piece in the small spots that slow down and speed up that might not be written down in their parts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>4\/5 Grade Band<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Please make sure your students have their instruments and books for class!!
