This week, 3rd grade began writing their musical composition: rhythm only. They have written both their A section and B section, in preparation for writing melody once the treble clef has been covered. They also began to review music history. 2nd grade began to learn about the Strings family in the orchestra, and worked on reading treble clef spaces as well as their concert music.
1st grade worked on their song Banana! and aurally distinguishing quarter and eighth rhythms. Kindergarten, in addition to moving to a poem (The Robin by Mother Goose), listened to Beethoven's 5th and Pastoral symphonies and compared the two.
