A little bit about the music classroom:

In music class students will sing, move, listen, imitate, explore, experience, analyze, classify, create, share, perform, notate, read, improvise, cooperate, and most importantly HAVE FUN!!!! We strive to create innovative, engaging lesson plans which include singing, playing instruments, and moving in each of our lessons. Music is important here at Dolvin Elementary. Studies show that students who receive music perform better on tests involving reading, math, problem solving, and logical thinking.

Dear Chorus Students and Parents.... Important Audition Information!

We will be placing audition signup sheets next Monday and Tuesday morning on the table outside of Mrs. Clark's music room.  Please don't forget to sign up.  Auditions will be held next Wednesday, November 2nd during after school chorus.  Please click on the tab marked "December in Our Town" for all script and song lyrics. You should have received a list of available opportunities last Wednesday after chorus rehearsal.  Please begin working now.  We are looking for clear speakers, nice volume, confident, vocal and body expression to match the script / lyrics and pitch matching for vocalists.  Consider memorizing materials; however, you may bring in your script or lyrics to your audition.  Also remember there are 100 students involved in chorus and limited parts available; therefore, chances of recieving a part are very difficult.  We will have more opportunities in the spring for special roles.
