About Music Class
About Music Class
Making music together is a beautiful combination of self-expression and teamwork. All elementary students in Nova Scotia take two half-hour music classes each week.
In music class we sing, move, dance, play instruments, read music, write music, and create new music using rhythmic, melodic, and expressive elements.
Assessment
Assessment
Music is something that is learned by doing, so participation in class activities is essential to a student's success.
Observation is a key assessment tool in music class: as we work through familiar activities, I note how students are progressing in terms of pitch, rhythm, and their ability to correctly apply the music concepts we are exploring.
