WELCOME TO FIRST GRADE MUSIC

​Welcome to First Grade Music! This year we will be reinforcing many concepts that were introduced in our Kindergarten program including steady beat, loud/ soft (dynamics), high/low (pitch), fast/slow (tempo), basic rhythms (quarter note, quarter rest, paired eighth note), the musical alphabet, and basic music history. We will also continue to develop our singing voices. In addition to these concepts we will be learning additional rhythms (half note, half rest, dotted half note, whole note and whole rest) and we will be reinforcing our knowledge of the musical alphabet by playing pitched percussion instruments. Students will learn musical concepts through songs, musical games, Smartboard lessons and assessments included in our Quaver Music Curriculum.  (A letter regarding the quaver program will be sent home in early September so you can learn how to continue the musical magic at home!)
