Students continued to use Autumn as the unifying theme to explore different concepts in music. 
After having explored different vocal qualities and body percussion, Kindergarten and Grade 1 students learned about the four families of non-pitched instruments:  wood, metal, shake and scrape, and membrane.  Grade 2 students begin to explore beats groups in 3s rather than 2s.  Grade 3 reviewed basic rhythmic reading while Grade 4 continued to build on their skill to notate the rhythm of familiar songs.  Grade 5 students performed complex multi-voiced texture on barred instruments, the drum and the recorder.
