4th Grade* Students will learn about beat, rhythm, pitch, melody, meter signatures as well as correct singing technique through the use of American patriotic, folk music and classics. Students will present their annual Veterans Day Concert in November. All parent information regarding this concert will be sent home in Thursday folders and posted on my web page. Thank you for whatever assistance you can offer, parent help is desperately needed during this concert. Students will also reinforce their understanding of the basic elements of music through a variety of music from worldwide cultures and rhythm instruments. Students will continue learning to read music with the use of recorders, a small wind instrument. All parent information regarding recorders will be sent home and posted on my web page in January. * Excerpts from Spotlight on Music 3rd & 4th, Teacher’s Resource
