7th grade. WE're learning how to use the computer music program called Mixcraft on our new Dell computers. We're recording and editing sound and learning about music through controlling its form. Next week, ask your child to play the music they've created for you.
6th grade. Continuing our study of music through the music of Jamaica. We're playing the steel pan drums and singing the Banana Boat Song. We're also getting an introduction to the computer music program called Mixcraft. W'll do a lot more work with that next year.
Also, I'm planning on doing a unit on the ukelele in 7th grade next year. So, if you can find an ukelele at a yard sale or in a friends closet, snap it up . It would be great if the kids had their own.
