As part of their inquiry, Grade 1 students have been examining the musical language called solfège. Up to this point, they have discovered that in order for two songs to sound the same, they must have the same melodic contour and the same rhythmic pattern. Grade 2 students have enjoyed their inquiry, Storytelling through Music. They brought to life stories about the Inuit way of living through singing, instrumental playing and movement. Through this project, they learned two-part playing on barred instruments.
Using the song I Don't Know Why the Sky is Blue as an inspiration, Grade 3 students took their instrumental playing techniques to the next level as they explored a different musical meter through performing. Grade 4 students explored multi-voiced texture through the performance of Song For Thunder. They are beginning to learn how to notate the instrumental parts on five-line staff.
