We’ve been experimenting with stations in 6th grade band! Students worked on rhythms, note reading, scales, and reflection activities 😎🎶 #InMusicClass

The first week of school band & guitar students designed album covers to introduce themselves. Today, we shared our creations to learn more about our classmates! 🎶😊 #RelationshipsMatter #InMusicClass

Today Wind Ensemble students recorded themselves on their iPads during a run-through of a concert piece. Ss listened to their recordings to determine what they personally need to work on 🎶 #InMusicClass

6th grade Ss will soon get the opportunity to teach their classmates! Today they worked in groups to determine exactly what information they should teach and how to present the information. 🎶🎺🎷🥁 #InMusicClass

6th grade band students work on “question and answer” composition 🎶 #InMusicClass

Symphonic Band students used “Rhythm Trainer” to practice rhythm dictation and counting today - a fun way to mix things up! #InMusicClass

Guitar students provided music for the 8th grade Meet the Authors event! Students worked together to pick the music, create a set list, and prepare for the performance 🎶🎸 #InMusicClass #PassTheBaton

The first combined 6th grade band rehearsal was a success! And they sound great! 🎶🎺🥁🎷 #DHMSBelongandBecome #InMusicClass

I assigned 6th grade band students groups for an upcoming project...instead of telling Ss their group members, they received cards with a rhythm pattern & had to find who else had the same pattern. The catch: they could only speak by counting 🎶🎵 #InMusicClass

Thanks Emma for teaching the band a fun new warm up! 🎶🎺🎷 Credit: Social Media intern Vivian! #InMusicClass #DHMSBelongandBecome

DHMS Band students are still making music! Between front porch concerts in Flipgrid, students selecting their own pieces in Smart Music, and trivia games on GimKit and Kahoot - the music continues and we play on 😊 🎶🎺🎷🥁 #dhmsbelongandbecome #InMusicClass

The podcasts are live! There are so many interesting and creative topics 😊🎤🎶 #InMusicClass #VirtualMusicClass

Happy Friday! Today was great day to mix things up in Symphonic Band - trumpets and saxophones in the front row? Why not! Ss enjoy sitting near their friends in a new spot, and they get to practice independent musicianship skills 🎶 #InMusicClass

Happy Friday! The Wind Ensemble ended the week with some sectional practice and a @Flipgrid exit ticket. Have a great weekend! #inmusicclass #dhmsbelongandbecome

Students are putting the finishing touches on their podcasts! They will be published soon, with topics ranging from video game music, music theory, specific instruments, and more 🎶🎤 #InMusicClass

Combined 6th grade band rehearsal to prepare for our #MIOSM concert next week! #InMusicClass #MusicChangesLives

Shortened class period with many Ss missing for a presentation = the perfect day for a Student-Led Rehearsal! Favorite part: when the percussionist reminded everyone the importance of breathing together before playing 😊 #InMusicClass #PassTheBaton #DHMSBelongandBecome
