Kindergarten - We will begin the year by exploring our different voices: talking, whispering, shouting and singing. We will listen to different books that show characters using some of these voices - Mortimer and We Share Everything! by Robert Munsch and Peanut Butter and Jelly.
First Grade- We will learn songs that incorporate activity with the steady beat. Miss Mary Mack teaches us to partner with hand "jive" and modify our activity using changing tempos.
Second Grade We will learn songs using our musical syllables (Do, Re, Mi)
Third Grade - We will sing songs from our Spotlight on Music series. We can learn ways to blend our voices, change dynamics (loud/soft) and tempo (fast/slow).
Fourth Grade We will learn songs about getting along, using proper singing technique and songs that link to other subjects.
Fifth Grade We will build on the rhythms learned from fourth grade and learn the new meter of 6/8.
