SCHOOL AGE MUSIC CLASS
Today in music class we revisited the note values we have learned so far (quarter note, quarter rest, repeat symbol, treble clef, and music staff) through some quizzing and also a fun game where we jumped, clapped, and nodded our heads for certain values. It's so much fun to learn about rhythm and music while moving your body!
We also practiced our xylophones and learned about two dynamics (volume) terms:
p = piano ----- Play softly
f = forte ------ Play at a full volume
You can practice these skills at home with anything from a maraca to a coffee can with beans inside. Don't forget to quiz your child on the things we've learned from music class and take opportunities to embrace teachable moments! :)
