7th and 8th grade music classes with Miss Jarvis have been working this year with a new software program called MixCraft.The program enables students to learn about music composition through the use of music "loops". Students have to be creative in the way they choose and mix the loops appropriately to create a certain mood or style. Students have also learned about musical form and how to structure their music. On their final project, students also added pictures to go with their music - but admittedly we ran into a few technical difficulties with some of this! This is an example of a piece that was composed during class. The piece is a creative example of the students using loops that fit well together in a rock style. Thanks for Brandon F. and Damon L. for their good work. Click the link below to hear their work!

The Challenge is on!
Here are the rules: When you visit the front desk, you will see the vase containing roses and candy hearts. You are allowed to measure the square vase. You can remove the flowers carefully, and measure the volume displaced by the plant, but not the plastic covering the candy hearts. The class that gets closest to the actual number of candy hearts in the vase is the winner! Every team gets one entry per grade level. You will find the entry slips at the front desk and they are due by Tuesday, February 14th at 12:00pm. Good Luck!
