6th graders play/sing I’s the B’y

May 5, 2012

This rotation, the 6th grade general music classes did a great job of playing I’s the B’y on the xylophones. We used our knowledge of the I and V chords as we played the accompaniment to this Canadian folksong.

I am so proud of our 6th grade choir!! They performed as a demonstration group for the CMEA conference on Thursday. They were awesome representatives of Bristow and the West Hartford music program.
