Welcome to the PCA Music Room
Grades 6-8
Students in the middle school are currently working on rhythmic notation and identification of pitches and rhythms. If help is needed to better understand music notation there are many free sites to help practice while at home:
All of these sites have tutorials as well as interactive drills for students to practice their rhythmic and pitch identification skills.
Grades 3-5
Recorders are being ordered next week. I am hoping to receive the order by early November. Once I receive the order, the recorders will be sorted and tagged, then distributed.
Grades 3-5 are continuing to work on the following concepts:
-Steady beat
-Singing with solfege syllables as well as Kurwen hand signs
-Performing muliple accompaniment parts for a single piece
-Proper singing technique
-Notation: pitches and rhythms
-Improvisation
Grades K-2
The lower elementary grades will be working on the following concepts:
-Notation: stick notation
-Singing with solfege syllables as well as Kurwen hand signs
-Performing simple accompaniment to songs
-Responding to music through motion
-Performing rhythmic poems
-Improvisation
-Proper singing technique
