Both kids had music night at school last week to show off what they've learned so far this year. Brady played the trumpet in the band. He's also been learning the violin this year, but the sixth grade doesn't have a strings orchestra. Considering that most of these kids hadn't ever even touched these instruments in August, I think the progress they've made is impressive!
Rudy's class has been working on rhythm and beat. Their performance was cute...but even Rudy said after the event that the "fifth graders were SOOO much better." He'll transition to a different music teacher for fifth grade, and I think that teacher really does a great job about getting the kids excited about music and performing. (There is a little clip of this year's fifth graders performing at the end of Rudy's video. The sun was streaming in our eyes for most of their pieces, so the quality is pretty poor.)
