New! Coding in Music Task Cards!

Hi Dolvin! 

Have you thought more about the Spring Arts Showcase? I would love to hear students sing or play instruments, but did you know that digital music and composition counts as well! You may find some neat ways to include your favorite coding and robotics in the spring showcase! Need some inspiration? Check out this website and try out some of the task cards!

Fine Arts Week!

Your art and music teachers are so excited to find a fun way to showcase your talents this week in our first ever "digital" Spring Arts Showcase! 

To participate, Mr. Denney and I would like you to record yourself performing a musical talent. Consider making this a polished performance as if you were playing or singing live in front of an audience. Think about costuming, staging, and/or creating a set or backdrop. If you are playing an instrument, consider dressing in your concert attire. 

Don't forget to tell us your name, your musical talent, and the title of your work. 

We will post all work on to a Flipgrid between today and Friday. Students from all over the school will be able to see your submissions and can view and comment. 

We hope you will participate! 

Either, directly add your video to this post, go to https://flipgrid.com/8125329d to enter your video, OR click on the music digital learning link here: http://dolvinmusicdigitallearning.weebly.com/spring-arts-showcase.html.

Reach out to Mrs. Endicott and Mr. Denney if you need any help at all!

Digital Learning in Music

I have added a link on the right hand column and top of the music blog for digital learning. This could be used on days designated as digital learning days as well as any time your child would like music enrichment (or remediation)! We will try to keep this page updated to align with the current standards we are learning in class and aligned to our music units of study. 

In the event a digital learning day occurs on a chorus day, information will be sent via their school Google classroom, but will also be displayed on this page for easy parent communication.

2nd Grade Musical THIS WEEK!

Dear 2nd Grade Parents,

The 2nd grade is proud to present our musical, "Spaced Out", which will be held on Thursday, October 24th, at 6:00 PM in the Dolvin Cafeteria. Students are encouraged to arrive at 5:30 PM to begin getting into costume. Please be advised that the school doors will not open until 5:30 PM. Your child will need to war jeans and a white shirt: all other costume necessities will be provided by the music department. If your child has received a character assignment they will need to wear their assigned costume. We will hold a performance for the student body Thursday morning at 8:00 AM; therefore, you will need to send your child to school with their costumes for the morning performance. Please check the music department website for any additional information at www.dolvinmusicendicott.blogspot.com.

We are also in need of parent volunteers to assist with the set-up of the cafeteria following the conclusion of our performance Thursday evening. Please email Megan Endicott if you would be willing to assist.

Please e-mail the music department if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you Thursday, October 24th, at 6:00 PM for our performance.

Thank you,

Megan Endicott & Patrick Denney

3rd Grade Musical Auditions!

It's time for 3rd graders to begin their auditions from Oct. 7th to Oct. 9th. I've included information that you should have received from your homeroom teachers below. Thank you so much for staying connected!!! Reach out if you have any questions.

Thank you!

Dear 3^rd Grade Parents,

We are excited to announce that we will be presenting our third grade musical, “Dig It”, at Dolvin Elementary School on Thursday, November 14^th.  Your child may be interested in auditioning for a special role in this year’s musical.  Linked here are lines and part assignments for students to utilize for practice and during their audition  http://dolvinmusicendicott.blogspot.com/p/dig-it.html.  Auditions will be held during the window of Oct. 7^th-9^th.  In order for a student to obtain a role, they are expected to speak loudly, slowly, clearly, and expressively.  We do not require students to memorize their lines for their audition; however, memorization offers an opportunity for students to use their hands to add expressive qualities. Every student will have an opportunity to dress in costume and be featured on stage regardless on if they are selected to speak in the microphone. Speaking parts are extremely limited. For more information, check the music blog at www.dolvinmusicendicott.blogspot.com. You may also find this information on the music website “Musicals” or the “Dig It” tab.  

Thank you,

Megan Endicott and Patrick Denney

***We are reviewing 2nd grade auditions and hope to have results announced by next Thursday! Teachers will send an email to those receiving part assignments.
