Upper Primary Music

Welcome to the HKIS Upper Primary Music Site!

Students in Upper Primary have two 45-minute music lessons per cycle. Students will develop musical skills such as active listening, reading and notating music, improvising and composing songs, and being a collaborative member of an ensemble. We will explore making music with our voices, bodies, and instruments such as the drums, xylophones, and ukuleles.

Students are assessed on three areas as pulled from the National Core Arts Standards. These areas are creating, performing, and responding. Our units will focus on how musicians generate creative ideas, how we can rehearse, evaluate, and refine our work to determine when it is performance ready, and how to interpret the artistic work of other musicians.

Please visit your grade level page in the navigation above to learn more about the music curriculum.

MASTER March Music Madness 2023

March Music Madness

Our theme this year was "When We Were Your Age". Teachers had the opportunity to nominate a song when they were the age of the students that they teach now. We were able to feature hits from the 70's through the early 2000's!
