Permission Slip
Curriculum Overview
First grade students continue their exploration of music concepts through singing, moving, listening and playing instruments. They continue to develop their singing voice through the use of solfege (ex...do, re, mi). They will begin to distinguish between steady beat and the "rhythm of the words" as they read simple rhythmic patterns. They will also begin studying the shape of music and learn to recognize basic music symbols. Music theory is highly integrated through related music activities and song. First grade students will focus on instruments in the percussion family.
