My Music Interest: I have an interest in music and background in music, so I started by teaching a 6th grade chorus class for several years. Since we went from two full time music teachers to only one. It’s hard to find enough students who want to sing so I created this class: Music Appreciation (for all students).

Our Procedures Students bring a notebook with them every day. A one subject spiral notebook (approximately 70 pages). Bring a pencil and/or pen every day. It is the student’s responsibility to find out what they missed and make it up (when you were absent from class). Only a few notes are taken each day, then we will watch a video related to that genre.

Academic Grade: Notebook/notes = 25% Quizzes = 25% Collages/Reports = 25% Participation = 25% Total = 100%

Genres of Popular Music We will be learning about (3-4 weeks each): Classical Music Jazz Rock Latin Class Choice (choose one): Country Electronic Musicals Hip/Hop
