1st graders have been busy in music learning about their rhythms and what musicians call them. Ta's are quarter notes, ti-ti's are eighth notes, and one beat of rest is called a quarter rest. We are now playing on xylophones and singing melodies that use those rhythms!

1st graders in music have been learning about rhythm and how there are long sounds, short sounds and no sounds in music. We have also been talking about how our words and speech have a rhythm. 1st graders have been playing different instruments to match the rhythm of their names, and they have been playing different rhythms using quarter notes, eighth notes and rests (we say “ta, ti-ti, and no sound.”) **Ask your student to sing for you our opening song, “Hola, hello, I’m so very glad to see you” and see if they can write a ta, ti-ti and rest for you.
I'm so excited about this year!! The music room has moved to a bigger room on the 2nd level of the school! All students have been learning about the new room and how we can make this year successful by following the music expectations of behavior and routines. Students come into the music room, sit in assigned seats on the risers, and SING! Here's a picture of our ROCKSTAR BEHAVIOR CHART where students are trying to move their class clip up the guitar to get to the top ROCKSTAR level. If they make it to the top, they earn music games of their choice!
Here's where you will get to read about what WCE 1st graders are learning in music class! I'm super excited to start the 2014-2015 school year! Check back soon!
