Traducir esta página web en chasquido español aquí Dear Parents,
This webpage is to help you explore your own musical talents and ability. If you
have a question or a suggestion, you can also use this webpage as a way to contact
me privately.
Now a message for your parents, so make sure they read this.
As a new year starts I would like to update you on some exciting news. P.S. 128 has become the recipient of a Donor's Choose grant in the amount of $6,500. That money was specifically used for buying 15 band instrument (trumpets, trombones, saxophones, flutes, and clarinets)and supplies for selected students in the 4th and 5th grade. Students are selected
to join band based on two main criteria. First, a student's behavior in class must be excellent, and second, the student must show he/she can read music notation that was taught in 3rd grade
music class. Those who are interested in joining band will have the opportunity to take a written test to assess their music reading skills. Band is a two year opportunity which means those 4th grade students who participate in band, will not have to re-audition if they choose to continue in 5th grade. Students MUST keep the instruments at school, and then in the winter I will have a meeting with the parents of band students who want to bring their instruments home to practice on a weekly basis.
Regardless if your child does a music club or not, your child's grade in music class is earned by following the rules of NYC Board of Education as outlined by the Discipline Code, the rules of the school,
and the rules in my classroom. I basically have 3 expectations of students in my class
They must 1-Respect themselves
2-Respect others including the teachers
3-Respect property (both music related and non music related)
There will be performance as part of the music class curriculum and I am giving every student a photo-permission form so I can video/photograph their
work with me for you to see. At times, that work will be published on this page. Please get that form back to me as soon as the school year begins - you can also find it in the download section of this page. The signing of this form
will be your child's first homework assignment from me and even if you do not wish to have your child's picture taken, fill out the form stating so and have your child return it so homework credit can be given.
Please contact me via email so I can keep you informed about your child's progress as needed,
performance dates, and how you can get involved to strengthen the music
program.
Students, if you are in in music groups, you
can find music that you can print out. Any music that is on the website has been done so with the permission from the publisher and is printable. At the bottom of this webpage is the Hall of Fame, as well as
pictures and sound files of work done in the classroom. If you want your
picture on the web, you must bring me a Photo on the Web
permission slip signed by your parents. I hope you have a good
school year and I look forward to making music with you.
