Magical Musical Tour Day - Week of September 27

The 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will be starting Magical Musical Tour Day the week of September 27th. This is affectionately known as “Tour Day”. This special day happens 5-6 times a year. Students share music with each other during music class. There are 2 parts to Tour Day, performing and listening.

Performing – Students may; play a piece or song on an instrument, sing, read a poem, or dance. The piece must be performance ready (not just in the learning stage) and Mrs. Looney must OK dances (2 minutes). Students get a chance to learn how to be performers and how to be a good audience.

Listening – Students sign up to bring a CD, ipod, tape or record by a favorite group. The language and topic of the music must be appropriate. Students learn how to sharpen their listening skills. They listen for the type of music, the instruments playing, vocals, and much more.

Instruments and CDs may be stored in the music room for safe- keeping. Please do not leave instruments or CDs in the lockers.
