Very similar to Mr. Daloia’s & other district elementary music classes. Focused on broad music knowledge & love for the arts! Aimed to encourage participation over all else. Pre-K, Kindergarten, & 1st Grade: First Steps in Music for Preschool & Beyond (Feierabend). Focuses on “tuneful, beatful, & artful” students Lots of songs, movement, stories, chants, & games. Singing & small percussion instruments. 2nd & 3rd Grade: Conversational Solfege (Feierabend). Basic musical notation. Singing & percussion, hopefully moving on to piano &/or recorder later on in the year. Still lots of games & songs mixed into more structured lessons.
