5th Grade Culmination - "Where Is The Love"

Hi 5th Graders -- it's that time of year. Here is the first of three culmination songs we will be learning. We'll talk about how we will arrange the spoken "rap" parts is class, but to begin with, focus on singing the chorus.

Recorder Ensemble - "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?"

Hi Recorder Ensemble -- here is the Pete Seeger song we will be playing for the concert.  As always this video will show you how to play it, focusing on some of the more challenging parts.  The main thing to remember is that all the phrases except one start with a rest on the first beat.

Chorus - "For Good"

Hi Chorus -- here is a recording of "For Good" from the original Broadway show "Wicked."  We will be singing it a half step higher than the recorder here, so this will be fine to practice with.

And here's that other video -- lots to work on, but the parts are short and we have plenty of time.  So get practicing.
