Circle the State with Song (CSWS) is a festival choir made up
of only the very best singing voices in Indiana. Do you have the
ability and drive to be one of the best?
The Knapp Knight Singers is a new addition to our offerings here
at Knapp. It follows along with the excellence that CSWS demonstrates,
focusing on ability, attitude and performance. Both of these elite
elite music ensembles will be auditioning in September.
If you are selected, practices will occur once a week after school in
the music room. It IS possible to be selected to participate in BOTH!
So...how well do you sing? Come sing for me! : )
Grade 3
The three elements of music!
An introduction to 'Rhythm', 'Melody' and 'Harmony',
the elements that make music what it is!
January brings Recorders! Each 3rd grader will need to purchase
a quality three-piece recorder from me (around $4 a piece). Each
student will play their OWN recorder, there will be NO sharing!
They will need to be responsible for keeping track of it and bringing
it to music class. After a few weeks of learning/practicing, could a
performance be in their future?
Grade 4
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Projects!
You will be studying the history of early Rock and Roll,
from 1954 through the early 1960's. During that time,
you will be assigned a performer or group that has been
inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Your project
will include a report, pictures and your own art work
which will be displayed in the music room at the end of
the unit!
Grade 5
Think Positive!
A beginning of the year project that includes ALL
aspects of music, including a short solo by you!
Everyone must do it. Music is a performing art
you know! : )
The Knapp Knight Grammy Awards!
Everyone will create a rap about something
that you like or like to do, then create the
cover art that would accompany your CD.
You're a performing artist remember!

The Science of Sound!
What is sound? Just what is going on
when we hear music anyway?
Rapp Song!
