7th and 8th

Hello and welcome to our rehearsal for 7th and 8th Grade!

We have a lot to do today. That was an amazing amount of snow! We had no school for two days. To make up the missed 8th grade rehearsal we will be having a combined rehearsal today.

Our Learning Targets:

(Drums)  I can play 2 variations of the hip hop beat on the drum set at least a 2 on my 4 point rating scale.

Wind and bells: I can play a concert Bb major, Eb major, and F major scale with arpeggio

I can evaluate my performance using our 4 point rating scale and give concrete examples of how to improve.

I can play My Shot from Hamilton at a 3 or more on our 4 point rating scale.

I can play Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring at a 2 or more on our 4 point rating scale.

Here is our plan:

1) Take your red clip and sign in! We have extra copies of all the music in the section already.

2) Objective discussion: Jesu and My Shot -

3) Warm Ups! - Scales and rudiments

4) We will be starting with "My Shot" We will be beginning with a hip-hop beat review.

5) Hip hop beat - Two variations on the hip hop beat from Hamilton. The whole band will beat box!

6) Rehearse sections (teacher modeling, discuss the STAR sight reading protocol)

7) Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach. Mr. Akter will model the piece at the piano. We will be building this bottom to top.

8) Practicing Assignments.

I look forward to seeing you for PLC!
