The Grade 2 general music course dives a bit deeper into technical terms and application of musical concepts, while continuing to engage students in singing, playing instruments, moving, creating, and playing games. Students are able to see themselves in their music making, and again, grow their love of music. Students apply concepts learned in previous years, as well as new concepts that will broaden their musical understanding.
This page is intended to be a location where students and parents are able to see what is happening in our music classes, it is not meant to be homework. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact Ms. Tara at tjllewellyn@edu.pe.ca . Have a great day! 😊
