This week in...
Kindergarten- we played the steady beat AND learned to play the melody of the song "Star Light, Star Bright" on mallet instruments. This was a difficult but fun challenge! We also took a listening quiz about music moving upward and downward, as well as identifying walking and jogging music.
1st/2nd grade- students took a quiz that assessed their ability to hear pitch and rhythm patterns similar to those we have been studying in class. We also learned to play the melody of the song "Tinker, Tailor" on mallet instruments.
3rd/4th grade- we learned about major scales and played a C major scale on mallet instruments. We also played the song "Do Re Mi" on mallet instruments and sang. We continued to practice playing songs on recorders and note reading skills, and also began to learn the song "True Colors."
5th grade- students learned a new note, D, on recorders and began to learn the song "Old MacDonald." We also began learning to sing "Start Your Day With a Song", an upbeat, swing style tune. We continued to improve our ability to identify notes on the staff by spelling out words using music note cards and we also did some music Mad Minutes.
