Last week, grades 1-3 took their solfege exam on Fa and Ti and did very well! 1st grade learned about the timbre of instruments (specifically wood, metal, and skins) and learned about overtures through Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. Kindergarten explored melodic contour and vocal qualities. Second and third grade learned about the science of string instruments and worked on reviewing their previously learned historical composers. All grades practiced concert music.
