3rd Grade Music

Anchor 1

3rd grade students come to music class once a week for a 45 minute class session.

  • Vocalizing & tone matching (singing)

    • Solfege syllables and corresponding hand signs

    • Warm-up exercises

    • Song selections from: “Spotlight on Music” and “Music K-8” publications

    • Additional Songs (selected by teacher)

    • Using good tone quality

  • Learning to read notes & rests on the staff (musical alphabet)

  • Rhythms (counting & clapping- up to eighth notes)

  • Rhythm & pitch composition

  • Instrument playing opportunities

    • Recorder (2nd semester- students will be provided their own instrument and music packet)

      • The recorder & music packet must come to class each week during the recorder playing unit.  Failure to do so will result in the lowering of your daily participation grade.

  • Composers and their lives, including…

    • Bach

    • Mozart

    • Haydn

Concert Program:

Due to Covid restrictions, we will not be holding a 3rd grade concert during the 2021-2022 school year.

 
Recorder Unit:
In the winter/spring, the 3rd grade students have the opportunity to learn to play the recorder.  Our recorder unit uses the "Recorder Karate" method booklet, and we take approximately 16 weeks to learn how to play- starting with "Hot Cross Buns" and working our way up to "Ode to Joy".
