Singing Through the Alphabet
Room:
225Description:
Did you know that music can help facilitate learning in other academic areas?
Singing Through the Alphabet is a precursor to the Music Workshop series. We will be introducing students to music theory, great composers, and musical instruments through age appropriate songs, dance, games, and playing instruments.
Through this class, students will be developing their listening ear, learning to identify high, low, and medium sounds, moving and playing to a steady beat, identifying various classroom instruments by their sound, learning to identify sections in a piece of music, and identifying loud/quiet, fast/slow, smooth/separated music.
In addition to the fun songs, dances, instruments and other age-appropriate activities, there will be a focus on the alphabet with a “letter of the week”. For each letter, we will have a short story, an animal, and at least one song to go along with that letter. Previously taught letters will be reviewed with their songs as well.
