Pk-1st grade have been learning about the Woodwind Family of instruments. K and 1st grade took a tour of "Woodwind Land" and visited instruments that are apart of the Woodwind Family last week, and continued their learning this week as they colored woodwind instruments while listening to Woodwind Quintet music by Mozart. Pk will be visiting Woodwind Land in their class on Thursday.
2nd and 3rd grade continue their journey through Recorder Karate, as the songs they are encountering to earn their belts are getting more and more difficult. They are all doing a great job, and some have already earned their orange belt. Way to go!
4th-6th grade have been learning about "Harmony" and the different ways that we can create harmony, whether it is through countermelodies, partner songs, rounds, canons, or descants. They have been practicing singing in parts together in class.
Our 7th and 8th graders are continuing their work through their respective instrument units. The 7th graders are moving right along with their piano unit, as they have begun to play music placed in both staves. The 8th grade has advanced to learning notes on the first three strings of the guitar, reading music that deals with those strings, and are approaching the lesson where they will learn guitar chords.
