Hello to the Parents, Students, Teachers, Administrators, and Staff! 

Welcome Back BPAR Students to the New School Year for 2021-2022! 

In Music Class, Students will be learning about the Four Characteristics for Music, which are Rhythm, Melody, Dynamics, and Tempo. Students will learn how to play on a snare drum and Hi-Hat Cymbals. Students will learn to play beginning piano, violin and recorders. Students will learn about famous composers, such as, Ludwig Van Beethoven, who composed the song "Ode to Joy" from his Ninth Symphony. Students had been learning to play "Ode to Joy" on the piano keyboards, violins, recorders, and drums in music class. Now through Virtual Teaching, students will learn how to sight read rhythm notation for quarter notes, eighth notes, half notes and quarter rests. Students will learn about the Four Families of the Orchestra, which are the Strings, the Brass, the Woodwinds, and the Percussion sections. How the sounds are produced on each instrument will determine where each instrument will go into what family. In “My Links” page, there are interactive sites to visit. For example, concerning the Four Families of the Orchestra, students can click on certain instruments to hear performers playing the instruments with a variety of songs. There are interactive fun games and activities with the sight reading of the rhythm notation. Music is an essential part of the overall curriculum and educational welfare for everyone. Music is the universal language that knows no barriers because music can inspire the inner artist in all of us.
