Welcome to the ALL NEW Brookside Middle School Chorus and Keyboard BLOG! This tool will help to keep students, parents, teachers, and the world, updated about the musical happenings in our chorus and keyboard department.
7th and 8th grade keyboard began learning to read the Grand Staff. The right hand reads and plays in the Treble Clef while the left hand reads and plays in the Bass Clef. Keep working on reading lines and spaces!

We finished our first 9 week singing test and the 8th grade singers have an after school rehearsal on October 9th (2:30-3:45) with the Riverview High School Chorus students in preparation for their Renaissance concert. The 9 week vocabulary test will be on Monday, October 13th.
6th grade music students began studying the musical "The Music Man" this week. We are completing an accompanying assignment while watching the Meredith Wilson classic.
6th grade chorus is in the process of finishing our 9 week singing exam. These young singers are doing well learning to use their singing voices. Our 9 week vocabulary test will be on Monday, October 13th. Study your 25 words!
