5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd Grade
Second through fifth grade students have been learning about the history of recorded music this year. We learned about how phonographs and record players work and how music is recorded on records. The process is amazing, and yet simple enough that we were able to make our own phonograph with just a pin and a cone of paper reading the grooves of a record. The kids enjoyed listening to some old recordings of The Beatles and The Monkees! 1st Grade First graders have continued learning about the lines and spaces in standard music notation. They are able to read and sight-sing songs with three pitches: mi, sol, and la. We've also been reviewing ta and ti-ti rhythms while learning the song "Acka Backa." Next week, we'll try out the Acka Backa game! Kindergarten Kindergartners wrapped up their unit on instruments this week. They are doing a great job of identifying the instruments in the four instrument families: woodwind, brass, string, and percussion. Now they're starting a new unit on melody, learning about how pitches go up and down in music.
