Department:
The K-4 music program introduces students to the basic elements of music: rhythm, pitch, melody, harmony, tempo, timbre, dynamics, form, and style. These elements are explored through a variety of learning experiences including singing, instruments, dancing, games, and listening exercises. Each year, we explore the same musical elements, but with increasing depth, to lay a foundation for understanding greater musical concepts and skills.
- Theory: steady beat, reading basic rhythms, dynamics
- Singing: pitch matching, call and response, singing games, songs in unison Instruments: pitched and non-pitched percussion instruments
- Performances: Generations Day, Winter Concert, and other school events
