5th graders will soon begin the task of choosing their instruments to play in Jr. High next year. To help prepare students for this decision, we will be studying the different musical instruments that will be available to them next year. This instrumental unit will address music Standard T-3.c Timbre: Aurally identify 3+ parts, and various world instruments; and Standard R-2.a Describe the use of various timbres and rhythmic patterns and their uses in various historical periods and cultures. All 5th grade students will be participating in an instrument tryout sometime in January/Febraury during the school day. Please watch for more information to keep you up to date on this process.
