  1. MUSIC at WOODLAND With Mrs. Fuller and Miss Bridges

  2. Why should you participate in music? • Mrs. Fuller and Miss Bridges want you to be involved in music! You can make so many friends and learn so much. • Choir and Band are like teams. We are all important, and we all have to work together towards common goals. • Music is cross-curricular. It is a mix of math, history, physical education, literature, languages, and art. It is one of the most basic forms of human expression. • Music can create change in society. It can make people feel a wide range of emotions. • Last but not least…do music classes because they are fun!

  3. Why Join Band? • You get to learn an instrument! Too cool! • You learn how to read music: basically a whole new language. • If you are interested in both choir and band, you could do band as a 6th grader and then do both in 7th grade. We will be learning a lot of the same things (note and rhythm reading, for example) in both classes. • If you stick with band, you have marching band, solo opportunities, and even field trips to look forward to in high school.

  4. Why Sing in Chorus? • You like to sing, and you want to be an even better singer. • You don’t have to sing solo in front of people…but you can if you want to! • You enjoy music in general and want to understand it better. • You don’t have to sit at a desk in choir! You’re allowed to use your voice! • Choir breaks stereotypes. Everyone is welcome. • Choir helps strengthen your voice, especially during vocal changes (I’m talking to you, gentlemen.)

  5. What We Learn In Class • Music Theory: how to read (and sight-sing) music, how to understand musical genres and forms • Music for concerts – often from various time periods and from all across the world • How to play an instrument/how to sing to the best of your ability and how instruments and the voice work • Music History and Culture – How are Bach and Beethoven different? • Special Topics in Music - In class we can explore world music, a capella music, famous events in music, famous musicians, and more!

  6. Cool Things We Do • KMEA Large Group Assessment for both Band and Choir • KMEA Solo and Ensemble for Instrumentalists and Singers • Honor Choir and Honor Band Opportunities • Kenton County All-Star Chorus • Spring Musical or Talent Show • Concerts – usually 3 per year

  7. Questions? • Ask us anything you would like! • To sign up for band or chorus, please fill out one of the carbon copy forms we have available for you. Invite your friends!
