Kindergarten Music Notes….
Greetings!
Only five more weeks till Spring! We’d like to bring the bears out of hibernation and play some games with them, so if your child has a favorite stuffed bear or other animal, they may bring them to music class next week. We’ll do some games and songs involving these friends from Feb. 17-20, so they can be left at school that week with your permission. Make sure it isn’t something that will be missed at bedtime…
Goals in Kindergarten Music....
We have been going through some basic assessments in some of the following concepts:
Steady beat Fast/Slow High/Low sounds Tone color
Loud/Soft Inner hearing Fine motor skills Movement to music
Some of these assessments will continue through the end of the 2nd trimester, and will take the form of games, songs, or paper assessments.
What's coming up.....
The third trimester will bring some pre-note-reading activities which will prepare them for what they will encounter in first grade music.
