In this classroom, we will be...
Exploring music:
Your child will sing, play instruments and move to music in 3rd Grade. They will learn how to keep a beat and tell the meaning of the music they will sing. These activities introduce artistic, cultural, scientific and mathematical foundations of music.
Singing:
We will be finding their voice in my classroom. Developing some technique and learning how to use their voice correctly and healthy. We will be learning how to incorporate emotion into what we are singing about. This year for our 3rd grade concert, er are doing songs that we all love and enjoy. A separate page is provided for all the information that you will need to know about.
Learning notes:
We will be incorporating what they have learned all along at Ohio Street. Knowing note names, what different note values are, time signature, everything they need to know about music. We are using what they have learned with playing Recorders and Orff instruments. This is something that I am looking forward to.
Listening and moving:
They will be exposed to many different kinds of songs with different beats and rhythms. They will respond to beat, rhythm and qualities of music, such as loud and soft, and fast and slow. This year, I am very excited to bring Folk Dancing to Ohio Street. Learning different songs and dances from around the world. This will take place around the wintertime when kids cannot go outside because of the weather. I am also looking forward to is learning Irish Step Dancing during the month of March for St. Patrick's Day.
