3rd - 5th Grade Music

All classes are participating in our school-wide Music Madness listening activity to explore various genres of songs, old and new. We will be exploring our preferences and discuss why it might be that we like certain songs over others.

Third Graders are working on new music with recorders.  Students will need their recorders and music packets each Monday for music class.  The recorder helps teach us music-reading skills, pitch identification, and helps us learn to work together as an ensemble.  Students have earned their white and yellow recorder belts, and will work to earn orange before Spring Break.

Fourth and Fifth graders are working on rhythm reading and performance skills.  We will use various classroom instruments to show our understanding of rhythm patterns.  Students will also explore music in the themes of St. Patrick's Day, Spring and Easter.
