Welcome to Fourth Grade General Music!
Fourth Grade students have been super creative and fun to teach! As this is their first year of instrumental lessons, much of the curriculum is centered around ensemble experiences as well as reading and playing in the treble clef. We do this by playing all of our Orff Instruments and of course, our Soprano Recorders. Other skills developed this year are:
Basic and complex rhythms
Accelerando/ Ritardando
New time signatures: 3/4 and 6/8
Development of reading skills in the Treble Clef
Further development of mallet technique
Phrases and Rondos
Additional musical vocabulary
Sing! Play! Move! are still integrated into daily lessons
