“Now that students have wrapped up their first unit of the year, they are moving on to learning about melody and harmony! The younger grades will explore the world of high and low sounds (with imaginary baseballs!) as well as sounds moving in high directions/low directions and not moving at all (staying the same). The older grades will build on their knowledge of music notation as well as concepts of varying meters and incorporate stepwise, skipping, and constant/same pitches to create their own melodies. We will also start exploring the world of canon and rounds and build on our knowledge of ostinatos (a short repeated pattern). The students will also learn about the importance of the phrase “Every good boy deserves fudge” and what “Face” has to do with reading notated music in treble clef. Exciting stuff! Once we get in the groove of unit 2, hopefully we’ll get some pictures uploaded as well!”
