1st Grade Music Makers
Check out what's going on in 1st Grade!
Let's get moving, singing, chanting, and playing!
During the first few weeks of the year, we are busy learning routines, expectation, and how to music appropriately. In our classroom, we strive not to make noise, but to create as much of a musical sound as possible.
We music through singing, chanting, movement, and the performing of both pitched and non-pitched instruments. Ask your child what instrument they've been focusing on in class. Hint: It's from the string family!
The Cello
Orchestral Family - String
How does it make sound - Strings are plucked, bowed, or strummed to make them vibrate and create sound.
Professional Cellist - Yo Yo Ma
Yo-Yo Ma - Bach: Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, Prélude (Official Video)
