Music

  • This week we are finishing up Unit 7: Improvisation and Science of Sound.

  • K-2nd Grade has been practicing improvisation using their voice and body percussion, as well as creating movements/dances. This week we will improvise using instruments, so if you have any instruments at home, please allow your child to bring them to their learning space. If they do not have an instrument, they will use an online/digital instrument. You could also watch the video on this choice board on how to create an instrument at home!
  • 3rd - 6th Grade has been listening to famous jazz pieces and practicing improvisation through singing, body percussion, body movements and recorders (3rd & 4th). Students are also exploring the science of sound by using the Seeing Music website and visualizing different sounds as waves.
