Rooms 7, 16, and 17 have been working hard at Recorders and are looking forward to sharing their progress during Student Led Conferences.

The students are demonstrating skills on the Recorder.  They are learning to play with good tone,  developing the ability to read Music, and reading instrumental scores for melody instruments.

All the previous Music work we have done with rhythm, note reading, steady beat and tempo all come together when we play Recorders!

Rhythm Band - Kindergarten

 Rhythm Band

The Kindergarten students have started Rhythm Band.  

In Rhythm Band they are:

  • exploring and beginning to distinguish among the sounds of various musical instruments
  • exploring and experimenting with rhythm, sound and music

We talk about what instrument each picture represents.  Each student gets their own instrument and practices reading the Rhythm Band score to know when it is their turn to play.
