Welcome to the Hillcrest General/Vocal Music website! All students in Kindergarten through 6th grade come to music class once a week. Children will participate in many of the following activities: singing, dancing, playing melodic and percussion instruments, listening to and evaluating music, reading and writing music notation, and learning about the instrument families. You can click on each grade level in the "General Music Classroom" tab to find specific things your child will be learning about this year. Additionally, each child will explore rhythm, harmony, timbre, melody, and form.
By the end of sixth grade, our students will be able to:
Match pitch
Identify melodic direction
Demonstrate proper technique in playing instruments
Play an independent part within a small group
Play a basic melody on a pitched instrument
Perform whole, half, quarter, eighth, and sixteenth notes in base 4 meter​
