Second Grade Music:
This
fall, the second grade has continued to explore and stretch their vocal range
through various warm-ups and songs.
Students are becoming more comfortable with their singing voice and are
beginning to match pitch consistently. Students
have continued to work on independently maintaining a steady beat through songs
and movement. Second grade has been
exposed to basic notation, to include both the family of “notes” and
“rests.” Students have started to
recognize standard notation in sheet music that has been part of the Winter
Musical learning process. Although they
have learned the note or rest values of notation, this is something that will
be further developed next year in preparation for recorder in third grade. Second grade has been challenged with
preparing for their first musical at the Bell School. They have been learning to read through short
vocal scores, identify repeat signs and follow a song from verse to verse. All of the classes have grown tremendously
and are for the most part independent in following a simple vocal score. In December, the students will look forward to
working on the risers, learning appropriate performance etiquette and piecing
the show together for our dress rehearsal and performance.
