First and Second Grade students have been learning about the different ways beats are organized: Beats are like Bananas - they come in different bunches! In music we organize the different "bunches" of beats into measures. We have been studying measures of 2, 3, and 4. The next time you hear a piece of music with your students, ask them to feel and find the beat!
Second and Third Grade students have been introduced to the main campus keyboard lab! We are excited to have brand new headphones provided by Atlanta Public Schools Fine and Performing Arts. (We also have new headphones in the Primary Center Music Room).
 Third and Fourth Grade students are having a great time in music class this year. Both grade levels have reviewed rhythm and singing. The next time you hear a solo singer, perhaps your student can let you know if they are hearing a soprano, and alto, a tenor, or a bass.  | Fifth Grade students are having a great time in music class this year. We are have reviewed meter and rhythm and have even been introduced into 6/8 time, poisoned a few students with one of our favorite games: Poison Rhythm, and are now preparing for Auditions for our fifth grade Musical: Mary Poppins JR. Please click HERE to register for the 5th Grade Musical!  Bagpipes make the perfect instrument for show and tell! |
