In music classes, the EC4 students have been working on building a basic movement/dance vocabulary. They have brainstormed and explored movements at different levels: low, middle and high and then they worked in groups to develop their own movement patterns. Next, they used their drawing skills to record the movement patterns on paper so that they can remember, practice and share them with their peers.

Overall expectations Music is the study and exploration of sound and the expressive use of musical elements through the singing of songs and playing of instruments. Children will join together in musical activities, using their voices and simple instruments to develop concepts about sound and musical awareness. They will participate both individually and in groups in games, songs and creative movement activities. Children will develop musical ideas in composition using musical notation. They will begin to develop an awareness and appreciation of music from different cultures. During the first two weeks in EC4 we sang songs (old favorites and new ones) we played with rhythmic and melodic patterns and we moved creatively to music. Here are some pictures from our class: |
