Bristow Vocal Music

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.

Thoughts?

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.

I was so proud of all of our students that participated in the musical. What was your favorite part of the show?

Why do you think it is important to have music in our schools? What do you think school would be like with no music classes?

What is your favorite music-related app?

What was your favorite Grammy performance?

What is your favorite love song?

This really isn’t a question, but I thought this would be interesting. Finish this idea:

What do you think Beethoven would have thought about this updated version of Moonlight Sonata? What do you think about it? Does it capture the mood of the original?
