Class #38--6th Grade Music Class

Monday, February 14, 2011, 10:20 A.M. 6th Grade Music Class. Class #38 on my “50 Classes or Bust!” journey. On a beautiful Valentine’s Day Monday, I am so pleased to be in Mr. Hardesty’s music class. Mr. Hardesty is our super-talented Middle School music teacher; he is in his 26th year at Calvert and, among several songs he wrote for Calvert, gave us the gift of “Silhouette Child.” Class has just begun as I walk in. Mr. Hardesty is talking about the musical contributions of the legendary Sam Cooke. Class quickly transitions over to the tiered performance area, where Mr. Hardesty reviews how to play an E-minor key on the guitar. The students are soon strumming away to “Horse With No Name,” accompanied by keyboard, tambourine, and drums! “Wild Thing” is soon to follow, and the music room is rocking! Please enjoy a bunch of photos below, and have a terrific week.
