Kindergarten chose different non-pitched instruments to represent different characters in the story Mother Frost. Through this, students learn to represent different personalities through sound. Apart from telling musical stories through nursery rhymes, Grade 1 students are learning the basic solfège sol and mi. Grade 2 students are building good instrumental techniques as they perform a piece inspired by the poem I Shall Wait and Wait.
Grade 3 students learned about the famous Classical composer Ludwig von Beethoven as they listened and analyzed the Fifth Symphony. They also learned about the different ways Beethoven used in order to create interest while using a very simple motif "short-short-short-long." Grade 4 students started exploring Alberta through music. They will be applying what they learned about rhythm and texture to create their short musical performances about Alberta. Grade 5 students had fun exploring jazz and the idea of "swing."
Reminder: Grade 5 students will be moving onto Band in February.
