This week in...
Kindergarten- students learned about high and low sounds through the song "Twinkle, Twinkle" We also played to match the first part of the song on metallophone instruments.
1st/2nd grade- students were assessed on concepts learned this year, including so and mi. We learned about dynamics, which means the volume of the music and developed our skills with hearing loud and soft. We learned about long and short and what kind of rhythms we can play to make long and short sounds.
3rd/4th grade- students began playing recorders! We learned how to hold them, what kind of air pressure we use to play (not very much air!), and we learned our first two fingerings to play notes. We also moved our feet to match sounds we heard- walk, jogging, skate.
5th grade- students began playing recorders! We reviewed how to hold them and began playing simple songs using our first two fingerings. Students composed their own 8-beat rhythm using half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, and quarter rests.
