During the month of November, the Kindergarten music classes will begin a new unit about melodic movement and patterns. Students will learn to recognize the movement of a melody, indicate when they hear that same melodic pattern repeat, and when they hear something that sounds melodically different. This unit will directly address Standard E-1.a Echo and perform melodic and rhythmic patterns; Standard E-1.b Respond (sing, move, and play) to changes in mood or form (e.g., beat, tempo, dynamics, and melodic direction); Standard T-1.a Melody: Identify and demonstrate high/low, same/different, up/down; Standard T-1.b Rhythm: Identify/differentiate and demonstrate beat/no beat, same/different; and Standard T-3.b Form: Aurally identify same/different, introduction, question/answer.
