Grade 1 students continue their inquiry on What makes two songs "the same"? As they take time to think about their musical experience, they find that there are certain defining features which make two songs "the same." They noticed that when notes are arranged in the same order and in the same rhythm, they will sound the same.
Using David Bouchard's book If You're Not from the Prairie as an inspiration, Grade 2 students tell musical stories from the Prairies. They will be singing, creating soundscape and playing instruments as they bring these musical stories to life.
Grade 3 and 4 students continue to build on their recorder skills. They are also exploring the 5-line staff and learning about line notes vs. space notes.
