Music

Michaela

Welcome to Music! I am so excited to be back at PS 158 and provide a space for students to express themselves through music and movement. Music can contribute to many different aspects of learning and finding one's self identity in a learning environment. Stay tuned for updates on our musical journey and feel free to contact me with any questions!

What's New in Music?

Mood Meter Music Words!

PK-1st are learning musical words to help us describe what we are hearing. We place them on the mood meter as we go along and talk about how each of the characteristics make us feel when we hear them! We use different animals and movements to help us remember what they mean.

Being the BEST musicians that we can be!

PK-1st are committing to being the best musicians we can be. Each class came up with one committment, and we use this list to remind us how we want to feel and treat others in the music room! This will be added to along the year to ensure that everyone feels safe and heard.

Expressing how music makes us feel!

Learning new music words can be hard, but we use different animals, feeling words, and songs to help us remember what they mean and how they make us feel! We love to incorporate different games and movements as well.

What is a musician?

In order to help us understand how we can be the best musicians possible, we wrote down some words that describe a musician! This is the way we remind ourselves of how we should be making others feel in the music room. 

Let's make music!

Here we have our 5 voices in music chart and a glimpse of 1st grade starting "titi ta". 


Our 5 voices chart help us remember when we should be using each voice! 


We are going to work on drawing "titi ta" next!


Instruments!

1st graders are creating instrument booklets througout the semester and will be putting them together a collection to take home at the end! We are starting with percussion. The Djembe is their favorite so far!

Instrument Store!

Here is where students will come and grab the instruments they need for certain songs and rhythms. We open the insturment store every music class!

Thanks for coming by! :)

Wish List! This will be updated throughout the year!
