Students have been working hard on their composition projects in music the past few weeks! Each grade had specific guidelines to create their own songs from scratch using GarageBand on the iPads. Kindergarten created a song based off of music and emotions. 1st and 2nd grade created a song based on music genres. 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades created a film score to a clip from Back to the Future. Each student became a composer throughout this process recording instruments, DJ equipment, sound effects, and even lyrics for some grades! Great job, Wildcats! 🎶🎸🐾
