Our journey continues...

Grade 1 students continue to explore a number of nursery rhymes which are based on sol and mi.  By adding non-pitched instruments and creative movement, students are bringing the nursery rhymes to life.  Grade 2 students' Musical Storytelling takes us to the east coast where the Acadians inhabited.  They are learning a number of songs from the Atlantic provinces and will be learning some songs in French.  

Grade 3 students continue to deepen their understanding and experience of "galloping time" vs. "marching time" by conducting the music in two-beat patterns.  They are also experiencing how a song can switch from marching time to galloping time part way through the piece.  While Grade 3 students focus on the study of "rhythm", Grade 4 students continue their inquiry on "texture", with a focus on performing different textures.  Using "Alberta" as the unifying theme, students will learn songs connected to the indigenous culture.
