Music: Third Term Consolidated Report (Spring 2017)
Grade One
Program of study: In the third term students in grade one continued to learn the fundamentals of music through singing, playing musical games, using classroom instruments (rhythm sticks, tambourines, drums, etc.) and movement. Also, the students were introduced to two–part singing by performing simple rounds and two–part songs (“A Ram Sam Sam”, “Magic of Music”.) They mastered their vocal skills by working on an appropriate position for singing, by learning breathing and vocal exercises, and slides. The students have been singing major scale in solfege and practicing it in both directions with Curwen hand signs (up and down).
· Music theory: In the second term students in grade one learned the basic elements of music such as music notation (musical alphabet, the staff, trefble and bass clef, and major scale) and simple rhythmic patterns with quarter notes and rests, and eighth notes and rest.
· Singing: Students reviewed and prepared several songs written by Raffi for our Spring Concert: “Baby Beluga”, “Brush Your Teeth”, “Shake Your Sillies Out”, “Down By The Bay”, and “Rise And Shine”. Also, they learned the songs “Hello To All The Children Of The World” and “Sansa Kroma” (The Hawk Named Sansa).
· Cross Curricular Activities: During music lessons students learned interesting facts about such countries as Ghana (West Africa) and Morocco, and also knew what languages people of the countries speak (Akan and Arabic).
· Music Games: During our music classes the students played singing games “Doggy, doggy” and “London Bridge”.

Music: Third Term Consolidated Report (Spring 2017) Grade Two
Program of Study : Students continued to learn the fundamentals of music notation by practicing different rhythmic and melodic patterns. Also, they continued practicing two-part singing by performing simple rounds and songs. We have explored these musical fundamentals through the use of classroom instruments (keyboards, glockenspiel and boomwhackers), games, and movement. Also, the students mastered
their vocal skills by working on appropriate singing position, by learning breathing and vocal exercises, slides, and singing tongue twisters. The students have been studying major additive scale and practicing it in both directions with Curwen hand signs (up and down).
· Music theory: Students in grade two worked on steady beat, micro and macrobeat, time signature and simple rhythms with quarter notes and rests, eighth notes and rests, half notes and rests, and whole notes and rests. Also, they learned the musical alphabet, staff and treble clef and basics terminology for dynamics (forte, piano, mezzo forte, mezzo piano, crescendo and decrescendo).
· Singing: The students prepared six songs for our Spring Concert: “The Magic of Music”, “Hot Chocolate” (from “Polar Express”), “My Favorite Things” and “Do, Re, Mi” (from “The Sound Of Music”), “Chim Chim Cheree” (from “Mary Poppins), “Never Smile At a Crocodile” (from “Peter Pan”) and “Heigh– Ho” (from “Snow White and Seven Dwarfs”).
· Music Games: During our music classes the students played such singing games as “Closet Key” and “Alabama Girl”.

Music: Third Term Consolidated Report (Spring 2017) Grade Three
Program of Study: Students in grade three fine-tuned the basic elements of music such as dynamics, steady beat, and rhythms (quarter notes and rests, eighth notes and rests, half notes and rests). More complicated combinations of notes and rhythms have been introduced and practiced. We explored these musical elements through singing and the use of recorders. Also, they mastered their vocal skills by working on appropriate singing position, by learning breathing and vocal exercises, and slides. The students have been learning major scale and additive scale, practicing it in both directions with Curwen hand signs (up and down). During the second term the students continued to play recorder.
· Music theory: Students in grade three worked on steady beat, micro/macrobeat, and rhythms with quarter notes and rests, eighth notes and rests, and half notes and rests, whole notes, and time signature.
· Singing: The program is designed to achieve the following goals: ü To foster healthy vocal/choral development of students ü To facilitate focused singing using unison and 2–part singing ü To prepare choral voices for artistically expressive performance
During the term the students learned the songs for our Spring Concert: “Alligator Stroll”, “I’ve Got a Dog”, “Broken Piano”, “Trucks”, and “The End Of A Summer Storm” from the Sandra Boynton’s album of country music “Frog Trouble”.
· Recorders: During the third term we continued working on the “Recorder Karate” method. The “Recorder Karate” program is a curriculum that is designed to teach students how to play the recorder. This method has a positive reward system in which students receive colored "karate belts" to hang from their recorders for each progressively more difficult tune they learn to play. During the term students learned the songs for white (“Hot Cross Buns”), orange (“Merrily We Roll Along”) and green (“It’s Raining”) belts. In grade four we are going to continue to work on the “belts”.

Music: Third Term Consolidated Report (Spring 2017) Grade Four
Program of study : Students in grade four fine-tuned the elements of music notation. More complicated combinations of pitches, intervals and rhythms have been studied this term in preparation to the fifth grade. We explored these musical fundamentals through the use of recorders and singing.
· Recorders: During the third term we continued preparation for our Spring Concert. The students have been working on a collection of songs for recorder “In the BAG” by Janet Day, learning such elements of music theory as dynamics, melody vs. accompaniment, multi–measure rest, A B form, tie, repeat sign and 1 st, 2nd and 3rd
endings. Also, during the term we continued to work on the “Recorder Karate” method. The students reviewed and learned the songs for orange (“Merrily We Roll Along”), green (“It’s Raining”) and purple (“Old MacDonald Had A Farm”) belts.
· Singing: The program is designed to achieve the following goals: ü To foster healthy vocal/choral development of the students
ü To prepare choral voices for artistically expressive performance
· For their last Spring Concert in primary school students decided to recall their favorite songs that they have learned during the past three years
ü Turn The Glasses Over ü Chickery Chick
ü Old King Cole
ü The Green Grass Grew All Around ü Hot Chocolate
ü The Canoe Song ü Purple People Eater
ü I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing ü Saying Goodbye
