according to Sherron Lantz, music teacher at Syracuse Elementary School. “The kids

are really excited about learning to play a real woodwind instrument,” stated Mrs. Lantz. She further stated a small group instruction will be the most effective way for the students to obtain proficiency on. the instrument. ‘‘Experience on this instrument has some really great by-products,” remarked Mrs. Lantz who went on to say, “children develop self-discipline skills in note reading, reading, rhythmic values, understandings regarding beat and meta- and hearing harmony as it developes from just a melody to two and three part music. “Improved eye, hand coordination is another by-product. I’m really excited about the program. I think the potential is great and as far as I’m concerned it was a tremendous step forward for music education in our corporation.”

4th graders see ballet The Syracuse Elementary Fourth Grade students and teachers went to the Morris Civic Auditorium. South Bend, recently to see the ballet “The Nut cracker” This was the first time some of the students had seen a ballet. According to teachers many students were impressed because some of the dancers were children. Besides “wow,” “great,” and “neat” other comments from students in Paula Markley ’s class were: “Thedancing was great!”, David Reed; and Sandy Flores commented, “I think it was just marvelous.” Lisa Brake liked the part when the nutcracker came to life and Susan Harman thought ‘“every scene was bright and colorful '' Susan Martindale liked watching the dancers dance on their toes and Justin deSomer and Todd Buffer liked the growing Christmas tree. Susan Martindale summed it all up by saying, “Really I liked all of the program . ”
