September 29-October 5

Kindergarten: continue reading, writing, and playing ta, ti-ti, and rest. Vocabulary will be fast, medium, and slow.

First grade: continue reading, writing, and playing ta, ti-ti, and rest. Students will distinguish between beat and no-beat.

Second grade: students will label staff notes on music and then perform the song on the bells for Mrs. Schwartz.

Third grade: students will define tempo and perform the wood block to a 'tempo-changing' song. There will be a short quiz on vocab words during the next class. Vocab will include chorus, verse, tempo, rap, and repeat sign.

Fourth grade: students will label the staff notes on a worksheet. They will be given time to choose a song from the worksheet, practice it, and then perform it for Mrs. Schwartz.

Fifth grade: students will discuss spiritual style music. Grades will be given based on singing and tambourine playing on beats 2 & 4.

Sixth grade: students will discuss reggae style music. We will perform chords on tone chimes, bass lines on the piano, and other percussion parts to accompany the song One Love.

Chorus: please spend time listening to your CD and following your part in the music packet. Our rehearsal time is very limited and I would like to add choreography as soon as possible!!!
