Kindergarten

The Kindergarten curriculum begins each child with the musical basics.  Each grade after Kindergarten expands these skills through our spiral curriculum.

Rhythm: steady beat, long and short sounds, varying rhythm patterns
Melody: high and low, upward and downward melodic line, solfege:Sol-mi patterns
Harmony, Tone Color and Texture: speaking, singing, whispering, calling
Form: same or different, question and answer
Expression: fast and slow, loud and soft, varying moods
History and Culture: music as it relates to the world around us, audience behavior, performing responsibilities

The Kindergarten will be sharing a music program on March 14, 2012 during the school day.  They will be singing, dancing, and playing instruments they have learned in their first year of school.
