I love teaching Music to The Annie Wright Middle School students. They have a real appreciation for Music and are willing to take every kind of risk. This week, we are completing a Unit on the Middle Ages in 6th and 7th Grade Music. The students are able to identify Music from four different historical periods and know how to write and record a Neumonic composition in Monophonic Chant. 8th Grade students are continuing the journey into the world of Jazz and began studying New Orleans Jazz. They learned drum, bass, keyboard and vocal parts for The House of the Rising Sun and will perform with their band.
