As part of the celebration of Chinese New Year, Kindergarten students learned a short New Year song in Chinese.  Grade 1 students continued to explore the concept of "beat" by moving to it.  They also extended their solfège study to include la.  Grade 2 students continued telling musical stories.  They began performing a two-voiced texture on barred instruments.

Grade 3 students started experimenting with musical questions and answers.  They looked into elements that give a musical phrase a sense of closure.  Grade 4 students took on the role of homesteaders as they performed a piece they had created using different rhythmic patterns.  They also started learning about "complementary rhythm" which allows them to create multi-voiced texture.

Grade 5 students began by experiencing what jazz music is like.  They played multi-voiced textures which feature the "swing" feel.  Apart from that, they performed complex rhythmic pieces on various body percussion sounds.
