January Music Making at Risen Christ School.

Hello families and friends of Risen Christ School!

Thanks to all for celebrating with our students during their amazing Christmas Program last month.  The students worked extremely hard and I was incredibly proud of all of their performances.

Please look below to see the curriculum in general terms for this month for all our students. 

Primary:

This month students in primary grades are starting to read and work with rhythms in different meters.  4/4, 2/4 and 3/4 are explored.  2^nd grade students will begin partner songs and rounds while younger students will attempt to read and perform simple rhythms in more than one part.

Intermediate:

This month students will work with partner songs, canons or rounds, as well as arranging music.  3^rd graders will focus on arranging, while 4^th and 5^th graders will continue to learn more notes and pieces on the recorder as well as advanced dances.

Middle School:

Middle school students will be focusing on composition this month and rhythm reading.  6^th grade students will be reading advanced rhythms in 2,3 and 4 parts.  7^th and 8^th grade students will be composing 24 bar rhythmic compositions.

Thanks again for all your support!
