We continue music literacy in 3rd grade, building on what we learned last year. In 3rd grade we will be learning about the Music Staff and learning about the pitches that are on the staff.  Throughout the year, students will progress through a 12-step sequence of learning. Like learning a language, students will begin learning the pitches on the staff through hearing and echoing (sound) before they start to read the musical symbols (sight). 

Third grade music class is the perfect opportunity to show all of the building blocks we've learned in first and second grade. The pinnacle of the pyramid is to "be musical" - that's what we're focusing on in third grade!
