Spring is here!

Using songs about Spring as an inspiration, Grade 1 students continue their inquiry on what makes songs the same.  They have expanded their knowledge of the solfège to include la.  Grade 2 students continue their inquiry on Musical Storytelling.  By exploring French-Canadian folksongs, they gain an appreciation of the Acadian culture. 

Grade 3 students are creating musical Q & A, in which they have to create a two-phrase musical structure using the concepts they have learned so far.  In May, students will be exploring the recorder.  Grade 4 students continue their study on musical texture.  Through the performance of traditional folksongs, they explored the monophonic, homophonic and polyphonic textures.  They too will be learning the recorder starting in May.

A note to the Grade 3 and 4 students:  Don't forget to bring your recorder next week!
