Music at GUES Pizzazz 2011!

 

     General music is taught at Grenada Upper Elementary to all students. National, state and district skills in music continue to be the foundation for the school’s music curriculum. Students are exposed to keyboard instruction and Orff instrument instruction through which they hone their music skills.

     Students are allowed to audition for two plays per year. At Christmas, the school alternates between two Christmas classics: A Christmas Carol and The Nutcracker. This year—2010—we are presenting The Nutcracker  In the spring of 2010 we will be  presenting another Disney play-Willie Wonka.

    

     Pizzazz! 2011 is the Grenada Upper Elementary showchoir group. It is made up of fourteen fifth graders selected by audition at the end of the 2009-2010 school year. The group performs for school functions, civic clubs, nursing homes, businesses, etc. as they are invited to do so. Mrs. Billie K. Shute is the group’s director. Tina Sanford is the choreographer.
