Spring Rocks: A Celebration of Rock and Roll

CPE II will present its annual spring concert on Friday June 20th, 2011.  The title of this year’s concert is Spring Rocks:  A Celebration of Rock and Roll.  Students will perform compositions that were inspired by aspects of particular rock songs.  For example, lisa and Valarie’s class will perform the song Pre-K Shuffle, which was inspired by the walking bass line of Chuck Berry’s Johnny B Good.

One of the purposes of the CPE 2 Spring Concert 2011 Blog is to inform the CPE 2 community about the steps leading up to the Spring Concert.  It is very important that information about the logistics of the concert gets communicated to the greater CPE 2 community.  Hopefully, this blog will make preparing for a the concert  a bit more  communicative.

Another reason for the CPE 2 Spring Concert Blog is to send families the music and lyrics to the songs that students are performing.   This creates a wonderful opportunity for parents to help students prepare for their performance.  It is always a  great joy to see how children get so animated about their performances.  Parents can help by having their child(ren) sing the song for them at home.

The spring concert is the result of students learning about music.  The performances are a celebration of  the the work that students have done.  Many students have learned about music with such extraordinary effort.  They approach learning about music with a willingness to learn and the commitment to understand musical concepts.  The concert will be reflective of that.  The spring concert is not a show for the sake of a show.  It is a sharing of learning.
