Dear Families of Trivium East Scholars,
It is with pleasure that I welcome you and your scholars to our new school year. We are starting off our year with procedures to navigate around our exciting music room with order and joy, and in our first week we are exploring beat, rhythm, and in tune singing with name games. Grades 1-3 are learning each other's names by performing the name game "Up The Ladder" while grades 4-5 are learning each other's names, (as well as an animal, sport, food, or musical instrument that they like) with the name game "Jump in, Jump Out." Throughout the year in each grade level, our scholars will work towards music literacy by learning new rhythms, solfege (which explores the qualities of pitches within a musical scale), and a variety of music terms. Some of the ways that we experience music are singing, musical activities, pitched percussion, and non pitched percussion instruments. We also learn about Classical music through studying composers' lives and actively listening to their music. Each year, the highlight of our music curriculum is our concerts. Each grade level comes together as a choir and performs a winter concert and a spring concert. I look forward to making music with our scholars in this new school year. Sincerely, Melissa Sassaman Music Teacher, Archway Classical Academy Trivium East, 1C and grades 2-5 Comments are closed.
