This summer I once again have the great privilege of music directing a wonderful musical theater camp with the Falls Patio Players.  This camp is made up of 60 kids ages 7-15.  Our first day was this past Monday and by next week Friday, we will be ready to perform a full-blown musical!  This year's show is Seussical Jr.  

I would like to invite you all to the show.  It is extremely kid-friendly and FREE.  Performances will take place at North Middle School in Menomonee Falls and will be at 10 AM and 7 PM on Friday, the 28th.

Did I mention the Westlawn students and family involved in this show?  See the below picture! 

I hope you can make it!

Today is Miss Corey's last day with us at Westlawn.  Miss Corey has been our music student teacher since the beginning of November.  We wish her the best of luck next week as she starts her new music teaching job in West Bend.  Miss Corey, we will miss you!

Here are some more enthusiastic 5th grade singers!

4th grade got to experience a fun, holiday-filled concert by the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra.

With the help of some puppet motivation, we sure had enthusiastic singers in 5th grade today!

What's happening in music class???

We have been SO busy in music class!  Our most exciting piece of news is that we have a student teacher!  Her name is Miss Corey and she is here from UW-Milwaukee.  Miss Corey will be in the music room with Mrs. Wilson until the middle of January.  

4K continues to explore using their singing voices vs a speaking voice.  They love playing percussion instruments and musical circle games.

5K is working on all sorts of music activities.  They are learning how to keep a steady beat and how to sing in their head (high) voices.

1st and 2nd grades are getting ready for their upcoming concert on January 29th.  They are doing a musical called Pajama Party.  Students will even get to wear their pajamas for this performance.

3rd grade recently learned how to do a crossover pattern on the xylophones.  They have also learned a new folk dance from Israel.

4th grade started their recorder unit and they are doing great with it!  The recorders will mostly be kept at school, but they will come home occasionally for a good washing.

5th grade is working hard on music for their upcoming concert on December 18th.  We will be joining the 5th graders from Parkview and Thorson for this concert.  

Dolphin Chorus is also getting ready for a holiday performance on December 15th.  They will be performing at the Kids2Kids toy drive event.  We can't wait to support this wonderful cause.
