Primary Music Classes

K-1st graders sing and do many musical activities throughout the year.  We have a lot of fun moving and acting to music as well as learning new concepts like rhythm, tempo, and pitch.

2nd graders learn from our new music textbooks, Making Music.  These books include many wonderful songs/recordings that keep the class involved and active while teaching musical concepts.

3rd graders learn to play the recorder in music class.  Each student purchases a recorder and folder at the beginning of the year and learns to read music and play songs all year long.  Students need to bring their folders and recorders to every music class.

4th graders participate in an extensive study of the instruments of the orchestra.  They learn about each family of instruments individually and study how each instrument works and makes sound.  There are many activities, demonstrations, video examples and games involved in this study.  4th Graders will also have one art class with me each week.
