Third Grade Music
This
fall, the third grade has continued to explore and stretch their vocal range
through various warm-ups and songs.
Students are comfortable with their singing voice and are matching pitch
consistently. Third grade has been
exposed to basic notation, to include both the family of “notes” and
“rests.” They have been working on note
and rest values and how the family tree of each is related. Students were able to apply previously
learned math skills, specifically fractions when dealing with “value” or “beats
of sound or silence” and addition and subtraction when dealing with “musical
math.” Students have started to recognize standard notation in sheet music that
has been part of the Winter Musical learning process and are able to name and
identify their value. All of this is
necessary to make sure they have the appropriate tools for recorder, which will
start right after our Winter Musical performance in January. In addition to standard notation, third
graders are now independently reading and singing through simple scores, after
a short review of repeat signs. In the
next month, students will review how to get on and off the risers, performance
etiquette and will work on memorization of speaking parts (for those who wanted
speaking roles).
