EBLS Music

 Music classes at Edith Bowen Laboratory School are designed to provide joyful experiences for the children, while helping them to develop musical skills. The curriculum is a balanced and sequential approach that includes singing, playing instruments, listening to music, improvising and composing, reading and writing music notation, and moving to music. Through developmentally appropriate experiences the students will learn the elements of music (beat, rhythm, pitch/melody, harmony/texture, dynamics, tempo, timbre, and form.) The curriculum provides for creativity, self-expression, and spontaneity as well as structure. Other curricular subjects are often integrated into the music classroom, to encourage deeper learning.

Mrs. DeVilbiss uses a combination of Orff-Schulwerk and the Kodaly method to teach the Utah Fine Arts Core and the National Core Arts Standards.
