Fourth through Sixth Grade follow a progressive sequence of gradually building and expanding on skills and knowledge. The addition of new concepts is a slower process as the musical skills developed are more complex and require more time and practice. The pace of advancement is much dependent on the proficiency of each class, and varies year to year.
