As we greet Spring, Grade 1 students will explore a number of songs along that theme. Through this experience, they will expand their solfège knowledge including la. They will also begin to explore different barred instruments including the xylophones, the metallophones and the glockenspiels. Grade 2 students will continue their music inquiry by telling musical stories from the Acadian community. They will learn a number of traditional French Canadian folksongs.
Being inspired by Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, Grade 3 students begin to see how a musical structure can be built using very limited music motives. They explored the concept of "question" and "answer" in music. They will expand on this concept in the weeks to come in order to build larger musical structures. Through the performance of a number of songs inspired by the First Nations culture, Grade 4 students continue to experience the concept of texture by playing multi-voiced textures on the barred instruments.
