The students had a wonderful time learning about and playing on a variety of different instruments in the last unit and we used a variety of ways to measure their success in knowledge!<\/p>\n
We have since moved onto a new unit for most of our students. All grades except for fifth grade have been learning about FORM in music. The youngest are using two main senses to see and hear differences and similarities in music. As the students get older, they look for patterns and soon are able to identify the form of a piece of music. Please ask your child what they learned in music class this week or the next and you will be engaged in a stimulating conversation! <\/p>\n
