This Month in the Music Room

September

5th Grade

In September, 5th Graders will be learning about the National Anthem. We will learn the history behind the song, and actually learn how to sing it. We will also analyze different performances of the song throughout history.

4th Grade

4th Graders will be focusing on rhythm as we participate in a rhythm card game "competition". We learn about sixteenth notes for the first time in 4th grade as well.

3rd Grade

3rd Graders will begin learning more about reading music. We will practice reading rhythms and do some fun community building music games as a class.

2nd Grade

2nd graders will be practicing some "call and response" songs in September. That means, one person "the caller" sings something, and everybody else responds with something different. We'll be using movement too to keep our bodies moving!

1st Grade

1st graders are focusing on "keeping the beat". We will be practicing steady beat and focusing on the difference between beat and rhythm!

Kindergarten

Many of our Kindergarten friends have never been in the music room before! We will learn the procedures of the music room, meet new instruments, friends, and sing new songs.
