1st Grade Music Class
During the month of February, students are starting to use traditional notation to read, write, and compose rhythms using rests, quarter notes, eighth notes, and half notes. This is a big step for them, and they are doing a great job composing rhythms in small groups this week! They have been singing and playing these rhythms since kindergarten, but are now notating what they hear. Below you see a group of students composing rhythms and then transferring them to instruments.
