"Good King Wenceslas" - Rosner/Mason Practice

Here's a small taste of what's in store tomorrow, from today's dress rehearsal of 3rd grade home school. If you listen closely you can here the lunch bell ring and the MPR filling with hungry kinder and first graders. Mr. Rosner and Ms. Mason's students never lost their composure. Good job!

Holiday Show Tomorrow!

After a week of dress rehearsals the big holiday show is tomorrow. I'm very excited to be working with such talented kids. It should be a great time. Shows are at 8:30, 10:30 and 1. I hope everybody can make it!

Hi 4th graders -- a couple of you are playing this little fanfare at the beginning of "Pat-a-pan". Here is a recording and the music. Practice it for next week. Note that I have only indicated the fingerings the first time a note appears in the music.
