March 2012
Dear Parents and Caregivers
Welcome to a Musical 2012!
My name is Frances Carter and I teach Classroom Music and Music Groups at our school for two days each week.
Each class has a three quarter hour Music session in our Music Room on a Tuesday or a Wednesday.
As part of the Music Programme the children are given the opportunity to play a variety of instruments. We are so lucky to have some wonderful tuned and untuned percussion instruments.
Please feel free to come up to the Music Room and have a look around.
MUSIC GROUPS
It has been an exciting start to the year in getting our Music Groups organised.
Year 4- 6 children are able to belong to one of the Groups.
This year we have Choir, Marimba, Recorder and two Ukulele Groups.
There is no special guitar group but guitar will be played in some of our class music programmes.
The children in all the groups are required to have a blue folder to contain their music.
The children who are playing in the Recorder and Ukulele Groups will need to purchase their own instrument.
The days for Music Groups are:
TUESDAY – Beginner Ukulele and Legends Ukulele
WEDNESDAY – Marimba, Choir and Recorder
FESTIVALS
The Choir, Marimba and Ukulele children will be entering Music Festivals later in the year. This gives an opportunity for these groups to share their talents with children from all over Auckland.
Information will be given out during the year.
There are many talented and enthusiastic musical children in our school and I feel very privileged and lucky to be teaching them.
Kind Regards
Frances Carter
Music Teacher
