Hi everyone!
The music room is just busy with a variety of units/concepts throughout the grades:
K: learning music terms for loud/soft, tempo and how it changes the song, and moving to tempo
1st: review previous music terms as well as sing with 2 part harmony in a short song
2nd: identifying introductions/codas in songs, hearing the same song played in two different styles, and reviewing notes
3rd: units on harmony, melody, and form
4th: Boomwhackers (plastic pitched tubes) are being used to learn note names, create harmony, and play independently
5th: reviewing recorders!
6th: tackled our first quiz, playing songs with our first 5 notes and getting pitch worked out in the brass instruments
7th band: review notes, but also introducing enharmonics, eighth rests, staccato, and legato (tenuto)
7/8 music: working on drums! counting rhythms correctly, creating ensembles of 4-7 players each playing something different!
PreK: our first visit was today and look forward to seeing you as much as we can throughout the fall!
Halloween is approaching the elementary grades so that will be what is on the schedule for the rest of the month for them.
It is wonderful to see your students grow and learn in the music room!
Let me know if you have any questions about what is going on in the music room!
Mrs. Miller
