Meet the Teachers Night

Class Environment

• When students come to music class, they take off their shoes and sit on the four different color carpets.  They are seated in their 'House Groups.'  

• BIS has four house groups:  Baekdu (black carpet), Halla (Yellow carpet), Seorak (Orange carpet), and Jiri (Blue carpet).

• This seating is for well-controlled class management purposes.

• The seating position will change as I will rearrange the position of the carpet.  The carpets will change back and front, right and left, throughout the year.  Eventually, the position of the students will change too.  The first row to the second row, and so on. 

Class Rules

• We have four basic rules in the music class.  They are to keep the class orderly, safe, and fair for everyone:

  • • 1) Listen and follow the direction

    • 2) Put your hand up before speaking and getting out of your seat.

    • 3) Respect your teachers and classmates.

    • 4) Keep your hands and feet to yourself.

Music Google Classroom

• All the lessons are posted on Music Google Classroom (refer to the image below).  If you click 'Classwork.'  All the postings will be displayed in order.

  • • Check out the titles of the posting (pink circle):  The number '0831' means August 31.  'Lesson' means lesson.  'Homework' means homework.  

    • I don't usually give out homework in music class, but if I ever do, it is because it's really important to move on to the next step.  But I assure you, it is very unlikely that you will get homework in music class, especially for the lower grades.

      • • However, if we ever have homework, the due date can be found in the posting. (green circle)

• Let's say you clicked the posting which was circled in pink in the above image; when you click the posting, you will be able to find out what we did in music class, and in what order, that day.  Also, you will be able to find links to handouts, songs, music scores, and lesson slides.

Quick access to songs we work on in music class.

• Students enjoy singing, and sometimes they probably sing at home, too.  But what if they can't remember the lyrics, and they want quick access to the songs?  You can see the lyric and/or music scores for instruments on my website:

      • Cursor over 'Music Class Overview' (circled in pink), then the panel will open up.

      • Then, click 'Songs' (circled in green).

  • Once on the song page, you can click the image to choose the songs you want.  However, access is granted to the bisce.net account holder only.  Make sure that you are signed into your child's bisce.net account for access.
