In March we have so much to celebrate! Music In Our Schools Month, Womens' History Month, St. Patrick's Day, Holi, and Spring. It might be the busiest month of the year but we have a lot of fun!
learned a basic Irish step dance pattern and reinforced skills of steady beat and iconic music notation (connecting vocabulary words to music rhythms). We continue connecting our body to the rhythm of the music and exploring musical contour (high and low) and dynamic (loud and soft).
learned a circle dance called Irish Stew and explored rhythm percussion instruments and pitched percussion. We also engaged in a Rhythm Reading Contest and every class improved their top score each week!
learned the line dance pattern for The Rattlin Bog, learned about Indian Classical Music with Carnegie Hall Musical Explorers, and expanded their practice of rhythm and pitched percussion instruments.
explored music centers: students are working on a research project to share for the Spring Concert, and also focused on note reading skill and ukulele chords.
