Mrs. Kuterbach – Music
Posted on March 11, 2010, by Mary Kuterbach, under Music.
As we closed out February and began March, our liturgical music reflects the Lenten readings. When our students attend stations, we include the Latin singing of “O Salutaris” and “Tantum Ergo.” By doing this, all students are learning an important part of our church music.
The 7th grade will begin preparing to attend a performance of the opera “Madame Butterfly.” The 8th grade will be viewing a performance of the musical “Curtains” presented by students at Bishop Lynch.
The intermediate and primary classes have been doing folk and square dances. We can do-si-do and swing our partners!
As always, be sure to join us each Friday for our student masses. Our student cantors work hard to lead us in song and do a wonderful job.
Thank you for your continued support of the fine arts programs at St. Elizabeth.

DECEMBER 17, 2009 is fast approaching! The St. Elizabeth Christmas program is here at last! The students have been working very hard to present you with an evening of Christmas songs. All pre-K, kinder, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students need to be in their homerooms by 6:30 p.m. on the night of the program. Eighth grade, Jr. High Choir members and guitar students need to report to the Chapel. Students should wear their “Sunday best.” No blue jeans, T-shirts, or flip-flops please.
Our performance will begin at 7:00 pm. The preparation and presentation of the Christmas program is a major part of each student’s grade for the second quarter. Please invite your families to join us for an enjoyable evening. Information can be found on my webpage. Students can find a link to a file containing the words to their songs plus you can see a voki about the upcoming program.
As always, please join us at our weekly masses. Thank you for all your support of the fine arts program at St. Elizabeth.

As we leave October, we have spent the month singing scary songs but we are now off to preparing for Christmas! Mark your calendars for December 17, 2009. The St. Elizabeth annual Christmas program will be here before we know it! The evening will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the church. Further direction for the students will follow in December. We will be hard at work preparing all this month. This is a major part of the 2nd quarter grade for students in grades K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8th grade.
7th graders have been working diligently on their Bach technology based projects. It will be exciting to see all of their finished products. 6th grade is focusing on reading, writing, and playing rhythm patterns.
Parents and students, remember to visit the St. Elizabeth website to access my web page. Here you can find links to some great music websites plus information concerning our class.
Our students help to lead the singing at our weekly masses, so please join us each Friday for this wonderful celebration of the Eucharist.
As always, thank you for supporting the fine arts programs here at St. Elizabeth.

Welcome back to another musical year at St. Elizabeth. Get your voices warmed up and ready to sing!
Kindergarten through fourth grade are exploring steady beat in music. The fifth and sixth grade classes are reviewing the basic elements of music with a focus on beat and rhythm. The seventh grade will review rhythm symbols and the musical staff. Eighth grade is trying desperately to get to the hand bells! We will also begin preparing for our Christmas Program, (date announced soon) which will be here before we know it!
All music classes have been listening to music from Johann Sebastian Bach. We have heard the Brandenburg Concerto No. 6, the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor and the Badinerie from an Orchestral Suite by Bach.
Please remember to join us for our weekly student Masses where our students help lead the songs. I appreciate your continued support of the fine arts program at St. Elizabeth.
