January Lesson Preview: Grades 2/3

Below is what grades 2/3 will be doing in music the month of January:

Students will start off with a SmartBoard game called "Candy Rhythms." Students must drag the named candy into the correct bag that has the same rhythm. Students will use quarter notes and eighth notes in this game.



Students will then start a unit on the 4 families of the symphony orchestra, and their corresponding instruments. The interactive online game called "The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra," will be a tool in helping students learn about the orchestra, along with various listening and visual non-internet activities.
After this unit is completed students will learn about a Conductor of the orchestra and how to conduct simple patterns. They will also touch on dynamics (volume) of music, and tempo (speed) of music.
