This summer, I completed my three-summer course of training in the Kodaly Sequence for music education at James Madison University and am now a fully certified Kodaly music educator.

We have begun to utilize the larger space and the wonderful technology in the new and improved music room.

• The Kindergarten students are continuing to learn about one and two sounds to a beat and higher and lower pitches.
• First graders continue to work on rhythm patterns and are now ready to begin learning their first two pitches, so and mi. and where they fit on the music staff.
• The second graders have been studying do during February.  During March and April, they will begin studying about re, which will enable them to work with the entire pentatonic scale. 
• The third graders had a wonderful program on February 26th.  Since the program, we have returned to our regular music lessons and will be learning several key concepts over the next 2-3 months.  They have begun to learn about low so and low la.
• Fourth Graders have begun to learn about fa, which begins to take them beyond the five pitches of the penatonic scale.

Please contact me if you have any questions about where to purchase recorders and what to look for when purchasing them.
