The music classroom is used for a
meeting room, so every morning when Mrs. DePew gets there her and two other
students bring the chairs, cabinets, shelves, and table in. All the grades are
doing rhythm pattern, musical symbols, vocal quality, and music history. The

The first and second graders will be
performing for Grandparent’s Day, the third fourth and fifth graders will be
performing for Christmas, and the sixth seventh and eighth grade will be havening
a musical in the spring. The grades that are in music are kindergarteners to
eighth grade. The largest class has thirty students and the smallest has
twenty-one students. The fourth fifth and sixth graders will be going to the
Akron Civic Theater on October 15.
We asked students how they liked music
and they said it was fun. They like the singing and the songs that Mrs. DePew
chose for them to sing. They don’t like worksheets and doing composers because
they get confused with the different ones. Most of the students like to perform
at church or for a special events, but some of them are nervous and don’t like
to. Most of the 8th grade don’t like music
because they do not like to sing.
