Music: Week of October 3rd-7th, 2022
I hope that everyone had a wonderful week. Music is always on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
In Kindergarten, students are working on identifying opposites with our singing voice as highs and lows. We just started learning solfa (Do, Re, Mi).
In 1st-2nd grade, we are creating movements to pieces to feel the beat and creating movements that match the style in which something is played.
