Music with Mrs. Contreras

Spring has sprung and there are songs to be sung! That’s exactly what’s happening throughout the upper elementary music classes. Along with working on recorders, ukuleles and a variety of barred instruments, students are working on developing their singing voices through basic ear training activities two-part harmonies. Listening to those around you and learning to blend both tone and volume is a skill we will continue to address.

In our instrumental pieces the students continue to develop an understanding of how melodic and rhythmic phrases fit together as they work towards a final arrangement utilizing a variety of barred and unpitched instruments.
