Happening in February:

*Ms. Sherman's Pre-K class comes to music and learns high/low, when to start and stop a song, and fun rhyming songs they can accompany with different instruments.

*Kindergarten will learn about jazz and spirituals. They will sing a song called "Get on Board, Little Children" and learn fast/slow and how the speed can change in one song.

*1st graders will continue exploring the instruments of the orchestra. They are learning the different families, the names and sounds of the instruments and will play an exciting guessing games based on the sounds and families.

*2nd graders are so good at ostinatos that they will begin to compose their own! We will use a calypso song called "Four White Horses" as inspiration.

*3rd graders are improvising and composing using the notes A and C on the recorder and on the music staff.  Soon they will be learning a new note!

*4th graders are learning some ostinatos to accompany nursery rhymes. They will split into groups and each will compose their own ostinatos with nursery rhymes and perform.

*5th graders are starting a unit on the blues. They will sing and listen to some popular blues songs and will learn the structure of the 12 bar blues. They will compose their own blues lyrics and melodies and accompany them using the blues scale and chords. This will lead into a unit on jazz, which all ties into their social studies unit on the Harlem Renaissance and the Great Migration.
