June<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students in Division 3 are still working on their Blues songs. The due date is June 10th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students will perform their songs for the class. We will talk about performance and audience etiquette as we perform songs for each other. The students are expected to be supportive, encouraging and appreciative audiences for each other. They are expected to perform with confidence and pride. They worked hard on their pieces, and with enough practice the performance should not be too intimidating.<\/p>\n

In the performing arts, we learn how to get up in front of a group and share in public. This is difficult and can be a fear for many people. In performing arts class, the children have the support of the teacher, in a low-stakes environment, to practice the skills it takes to share in public. Feining confidence, practicing a lot, concentrating on a specific thing, can get one through a performance situation.<\/p>\n

As an audience member we need to be a good listener, respectful to a performer, show encouragement and respond with applause. These things are expected when we are an audience in a public setting, and also elicit the best performance out of performers we watch. We will talk about this in music class and how important these skills will be in their future lives. These are probably the most important skills the children will take with them from Elementary School moving forward.<\/p>\n

Divisions 3 will participate in some listening, dance and drama activities until the end of the school year.<\/p>\n
