Life Continues in Our Music Classes

Such exciting times at All Saints Catholic School.  Our Hand Chime class played again during Mass.  They accompanied "Amazing Grace" during bringing up of the gifts.  I played on the first verse and then they played while the school sang accappella.  That is such a beautiful sound.

Students sharing a singing book with the class.
We divided the class into groups and each group had a singing story to share with the class.  Some of them would act out the book and some ask the students to join them in singing the story.
It looks like they were enjoying themselves.

Love Our Music

Today during Mass our Hand Chime class shared music with the students.  They are doing great and work very well together.  We are working on more music to share with our school.


We are acting out stories in PK-2nd grades.  We are telling our own version of some well known fairy tales.  We have books that we are reading and singing.  In 2nd grade they have divided into groups and are going to share their book with the other students and sing their story.

We are working on a piece in the 3rd grades on our recorders.

Both 4th grades are going to start preparing pieces for Mass to share before Mass starts.  This will involve part singing and playing the instruments.  Mr. Power's 4th grade is joining the Honor Choir in sharing a Psalm that will be sung in a round accompanied by the Hand Chimes.

Students acting out "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Three Little Pigs".  Each character was accompanied on percussion instruments.
