Special events in music:
Stay tuned for future events in music!
What are we currently working on:
Y5-2: We are learning and practicing songs that help us use our singing voice, create/stay with a steady beat, move to music, and how to play specific musical instruments. These students are also starting to review key concepts like the connection between how music sounds and the vocabulary to describe that.
3: We are learning how to play different note names from looking at music. This involves a lot of reading notes and practicing playing instruments.
4/5: We are learning to play ukuleles. This develops both the skills involved in playing the instrument and the concept of chords that include I, iv, and V.
Fun/New things in music: Sometimes your student sings along to a guitar, ukulele, piano, or drum!
Class Highlight of the month:
We do movement exploration in class for the younger students to conceptualize things about music with how they move their body. In classes with our older students we always practice rhythms in increase our reading skills!
Shout out to our wildcats of the week and month! If your student has received this honor they will have a certificate to bring home! Congratulations to those wildcats! Thank you for being fantastic musicians and students!
