FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS at the Dogwood Center

REPORT TO THE MUSIC ROOM.

Uniforms will be worn in the spring.

As the above statement says, we will be wearing uniforms

Please see details below as to what that is.

"The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save, He will take great delight in you,

He will quiet you with his love,

HE WILL REJOICE OVER YOU WITH SINGING." Zephaniah 3:17

In your personal devotions all year, NOTICE how often the Bible talks about music, instruments, singing, etc...

It will amaze you!

Make music an important part of your life of Praise and Worship!

ELEMENTARY MUSIC TERMS:

All classes are exploring the resting tone, do-so-do patterns, and internalizing a beat.

This will provide a base for a successful musical future!

Hopefully, they are tapping on things around the house!!!

"I love being a part of your child's music education at FCS! Music is such a natural expression of praise to God!

Thanks for the privilege of teaching your children!"
