Ms. Belknap's Class Writes a Song
As a part of an effort to make music class more interdisciplinary, a number of classes composed material based on content learned in other subject areas.
Ms. Belknap's 3rd Grade studied Vermont's Abenaki Native American tribe, and wrote a song based on the Abenaki folk tale about the Racoon and the Waterfall. They call this one "Abenaki Stories". We made a recording of this song which uses voice, xylophones, and various percussion instruments. All of Ms. Belknap's students were involved in making this recording.

Harry Belafonte at the Big Picture
On Monday, January 16th a group of Waitsfield students had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sing for musician and social justice activist, Harry Belafonte at the Big Picture Theatre for Martin Luther King's memorial. Mr. Belafonte was skyped in after the screening of his documentary "Sing Your Song". The students sang a song of the same title from the children's play "A Froggy Day in Lindentown" that was performed earlier this school year. Thanks to Eugene and Claudia for inviting us. It is an experience none of was will soon forget!
