Music Mrs. Engle Grades Pre-K through 7 CTL music class is active for all grade levels. Movement through singing games and dances are an important part of the music curriculum, a highly-structured child developmental sequence where rhythmic and melodic concepts are taught through movement as well as through aural and visual methods. Pre-K music students have been developing an understanding of partner songs. Kindergarten students are continuing to develop an understanding of steady beat as well as practicing the comparatives of fast versus slow and loud versus soft. First and second grades are reading four beat rhythm patterns and using vocal exploration of the high/low comparative to prepare to read music from the staff. Third and fourth grade students are reading and writing music on the staff. They also spent time this month rehearsing for the Veterans Day program. Older music students are playing piano and keyboards and other pitched instruments. These students were able to showcase their talents by playing one of the songs for the Veterans Day program. 18
