4th Grade Music

April/May 2017:

4M, 4C, and all three 5th grade classes have been working on a Rap project within QuaverMusic. They are using Q Grooves within Quaver to create a backing track within a specific 'form.' Then they will write lyrics and perform their final rap.

Ms. Theisen teaches 4-C and 4-M. Here is what's happening in 4C and 4M:

SPRING 2017:

4-C and 4-M have been working on a RAP Project in QuaverMusic.com! Throughout this project, the students are learning about how to create different 'forms' in music, such as ABA or ABABA or ABACA, as well as learning about the function of an introduction and a coda. Students will be performing their rap projects during their classes.

FALL 2016:

The 4th Grade classes are excited to be learning the UKULELE this fall !!! We also started the year with a drum circle and students drummed to 'What's your name?' and 'What's for lunch,' where each answers the question with a drum pattern and the classes echoes each soloist.
