This week in...
Kindergarten- students learned about high and low in music. We listened and compared pitches, deciding which of two pitches was higher. We also moved to show high and low sounds in music- twinkling like stars for high, and sliding our feet across the floor like starfish for low.
1st/2nd grade- students continued to discover long and short sounds by listening to the sounds of different unpitched percussion instruments. Students also learned about high and low and made predictions about which of two instruments would make the lower sound (it's always the larger instrument!)
3rd/4th grade- students wrote out the rhythm of foot puzzles, continued to develop note reading skills, and learned to play the white belt song for Recorder Karate, "Hot Cross Buns." Students also learned about form with the song "Hi! Ho! The Rattlin' Bog" and worked on matching pitch while singing.
5th grade- students transformed their composed rhythm from last week into a melody with notes on the staff. Students then learned to play their melodies. Students played several melodies written by their classmates and learned about the music of Mozart.
Happy long weekend!
