Hope to see you there!

This week, students will learn Ants Go Marching and how to play the hand drum part to it. They will also be learning motions for each verse. 

 

They will start a unit on rhythm that will go more into recognizing patterns. 

This is the first week of the new rotation.

 

Students will be going over rules of the music room, learning several songs, and playing some rhythms on drums.

 

 

This week students will play on the hand drums, playing quarter note and eighth note rhythms with quarter rests.

 

They will also be singing all of the songs they've learned so far including Grizzly Bear, The Old Gray Cat, and Ants Go Marching.

This week, students will continue learning songs to sing and dance to.  They will also play on hand drums to keep a beat and to play rhythms by rote.

 

They will learn about dynamics (loud and soft) through a song called "Grizzly Bear" where they will sing quieter as they get closer to "the bear".
