Elementary Choir Concert Tonight!

All the first-fifth graders need to meet at Community Reformed Church by 6:50 tonight for our 7:00 concert.  Please have the students wear dress pants (no jeans) and a solid colored shirt.  Drop off your students by their teachers in the gym next to the sanctuary at church.

Join us to see what the ZCS kids have been doing in music and choir class this year and also to worship the Creator of music.  It should be a fun evening!

Dear parents of music students:

I was forwarded some information about TRIP at Meyer Music you may like to know. Were you aware that families who rent instruments or have any bills to pay at Meyer Music can use VIP TRIP to make those payments?  Parents who use TRIP can save 3.5% and have it applied to their tuition. That sounds like a win-win to me. Thought you'd like to know!

A Great Start

It's hard to believe September is almost over! We have been working hard in elementary music and choir.  The students have been exploring how to keep a steady beat with their voices, on their bodies and with instruments. We have been practicing playing the steady beat on rhythm instruments; it has been fun to play our new classroom drums! The kids have even been experimenting with quarter note and eighth note rhythm patterns and are starting to be able to play a pattern while another one is already going on.

It has been a great start to our year and I am proud of all the kids have learned already.  We look forward to sharing some of this with you at our concert on November 13. Stay tuned for more details!

We're off and running with 5th grade CADET BAND for 2012-2013. We've got a bigger and more balanced group than ever this fall. I'm so excited about their potential. This morning (our FIRST REHEARSAL EVER) we even managed to play a 'song'! Ask your student to demonstrate this weekend. And parents, please be sure to encourage the one sure fire way to success--PRACTICING AT HOME!  Here's the group from this morning.
