Southdale Orff Ensemble at Rosewood!
Under the direction of Adam Depew with the support of Principal Dan Palmer, the Southdale Orff Ensemble performed Saturday at Rosewood Art Center for the annual Rosewood Holiday Arts Festival. The Southdale Orff Ensemble performed their show entitled “Out of This World!” which featured students playing xylophones, drumming, and speech pieces that were created by the students themselves. Orff Schulwerk is a wonderful way for students to become active music makers in the elementary music classroom.

Student Composition by Caedon Croucher
Here is an original composition from Caedon Croucher. Caedon participated in the Music Composition Club this along with taking Music Theory and IB Music. He had an opportunity to hear his piece played by one of our concert bands. Please take a moment and listen to some great music by a talented musician. IB Music, Composition Club, and Music Theory is taught by Najwa Jones. IB Music and Music Theory are part of our CCP program.
Bio: Hello, my name is Caedon Croucher and this piece I have written is called "The Jade Crypt", it was written in about a week, so parts might be a little rough, this is due to the fact that the first piece I wrote for this was too difficult, so in a week I spent 5 hours a night writing a new piece for them that I thought they would enjoy playing as well as have fun. My dream is to one day be able to write music, or teach music for a living, and I'm trying my hardest to achieve my goals by practicing writing and playing music every moment I can. Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Brief Bio by Jacob:
Hi! My name is Jacob Slomko. I play trumpet for Fairmont's Wind Symphony and am a part of our Composition Club. I've always been fascinated with writing music and am glad to have this opportunity to have one of concert bands play this composition. Entitled "March of the Ohioans", I tried to capture the wild and imaginative spirit of the Buckeye State and all who live in it. I hope you enjoy!
