What is Happening in the Music room
Grade 3 general music: Throughout the year, the children experience a number of movement activities in order to master steady beat and rhythm. Singing folk songs, doing folk dances and acting out fables, and playing many non-pitched percussion instruments are just a few of the fun ways we learn about music in third grade.
Grade 4 general music: Students play games, instruments, dance and learn songs from many cultures. We study the music of various cultures of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. This year, fourth graders will use the ukuleles to learn to read music.
Grade 5 general music: Grade 5 students learn to count rhythms using numbers and write notation on the treble clef staff. Students will also learn to compose using graphic notation and various cloud based and I pad based music composing apps. They learn more advanced music vocabulary and symbols. Students will be creating, composing and playing their compositions on a variety of instruments from various countries. They will also be learning how to play the ukulele.
