    Our Vocal/Choral Performance Program

     The K-2 Curriculum: The students will sing songs that are culturally diverse alone an with others with appropriate tone, pitch, and rhythm, with and without accompaniment.

    • The students will read and notate music.
    • The students improvise melodies, variations, and accompaniments.
    • The students compose and arrange music within specific guidelines.
    • The students will understand music in relation to culture and history.

    • The students will evaluate music and music performances.
    • The students will understand the relationship between music, the other arts, and disciplines outside the arts.
    • The students will understand the relationship between music and the world beyond the school setting.

    The 3rd – 5th Grade Curriculum (including all of the above):

    • The students will maintain their own part and using proper breathing techniques and a pleasing tone, with and without accompaniments.
    • The students will use appropriate expressive and stylistic devices including dynamics, tone quality, phrasing, articulation and interpretation.
    • The students will blend vocal timbres, match dynamic levels and respond to the cues of the conductor when singing as part of a group.
    • I will also be offering a K-2 Chorus that will meet after school on Tuesdays from 2:30 – 3:45 pm.  Permission slips/Parent consent and an audition are required.
    • I look forward to exploring the world of music with your children this year!!
