My name is Mrs. Beth Pugliese, and I am the Music Teacher at Saint Joseph Catholic School.
In our Music Education Program, our students are provided with experiences that will develop their abilities to hear, explore, understand, create, analyze, and synthesize music alone and in relation to the total human experience.

Music Objectives:

• To develop music appreciation through theory and singing
• To teach liturgical music
• To familiarize students with musicians and the history of music
• To apply the knowledge of music theory through the use of recorders and rhythm instruments.
• To offer optional instrumental music lessons and a band experience

The Spring Talent Show dates have been set!

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

• Auditions will be held Wednesday, April 19th
• Talent Show will be held Monday, May 1st at 1:00 PM in the Elementary School gym

MIDDLE SCHOOL

• Auditions will be held Wednesday, April 26th.
• Talent Show will be held may 3rd at 1:30 PM in the Social Hall.

Guidelines:

• All acts should be no longer than 4 minutes, most should be around 3 minutes.
• The permission slip must be signed by both parent and student and turned in during the audition.
• All acts should be fully prepared on the day of the audition.  I did talk about the date and the talent show with the Middle School students in April.
• NO lip synching.  This means that if you perform with a VD that has singing on it, your act will not be accepted.  Please have prerecorded accompaniment or have someone play for you.  If necessary, I would be happy to play the piano for anyone who wishes to sing.
• Inappropriate dance moves, language, subject matter or skits with unacceptable subject matter or language will not be accepted.
• Please label your CD with your name, and if needed, the track number, to facilitate the flow for the show.

Mrs. Pugliese is looking for someone to help with the sound equiptment during audition day and the day of the show.

Permission slips were sent home with the students.  If you need another copy, you can download the permission slip here.

Mrs. Pugliese helps our students prepare for the Mass they will lead.
