Note from the Music Room
Here's what we've been up to in Music Class this month!
Kindergarten has been working super hard on steady beat. We've used rhythm sticks, hand drums, and recorded a video with scarves to feel the beat in our bodies! Check it out on seesaw. We also have been listening to a silly Spanish song for Hispanic Heritage Month called Mi Cuerpo Hace Música! It means my body makes music :)
First Graders learned what Quarter Notes and Eighth Notes are- these are our very first music notes and we're already able to read rhythm patterns that use them! We also started a partner dance called La Raspa; be on the lookout on Seesaw for more videos.
Second Graders kicked off the month with the perfect song: September by Earth, Wind & Fire! On Seesaw keep an eye out for another dance we're learning with rhythm sticks called Los machetes. We also added Half Note to our list of notes that we know, and learned a bit about Tito Puente, the mambo king.
I'm so proud of our students and how much they've already accomplished this year!
