FUN!! Students will learn basic music skills, including but not limited to music theory, matching pitches through singing and learning solfeggio, note recognition and beating rhythms with gusto, large and small motor movement songs and games, exploring composers and their time periods, and guest musician adventures. Last but not least...we get to sing in the Winter and Spring Concerts and possibly an outreach! Expectations: at least 30 minutes of out-of-class practice on music, Sight Reading Factory, and one theory assignment per week.
