Kindergarten has been very excited to learn to play the xylophones for the very first time at the end of the second quarter! Now that they have mastered correct playing technique, we will be using these instruments to accompany stories and songs while we learn the individual instrument names and discover how to play up/high and down/low during the first part of the 3rd quarter. As we enter weeks 4-5 we will be focusing on loud and soft in music and will practice controlling our loud and soft singing voice. Then in weeks 6-7 we will be listening to some classical music and playing some games that will help us learn about identifying fast and slow in music. For the last weeks of the quarter, we will be focusing on identifying long sounds and short sounds in music, which will set us up to learn all about quarter notes and 8th notes very soon!
