Kindergarten
Music-
The music
classroom routines have been ones that get the students ready to sing and move.
Kindergarten students focus on learning a variety of songs, exploring music
through movement, reflecting on music in their own words and exploring ways to
organize sound through graphic notation. Musical games with songs like “Bingo
was his name”, “Happy and you know it” and “Row row, row, your boat” engage
students in group work and responsibility by singing together and knowing the
words. Body percussion and classroom instruments are used to expand sound
awareness and form of the pieces. Add on
songs like “Bought me a cat” gives students opportunities to work with musical form
and to add their own ideas by substituting body percussion, instrumental
playing, or word suggestions to create a new version of the song. Introduction
to following a sound scape complimented these activities because students could
make connections to the visual aspect of sound production.
