THIRD GRADE

 

During Marking Period 1, we focus on identifying musical forms containing contrast and repetition. Through this study, they identify various song forms including verse/refrain and cumulative. Many of the songs referenced are folk songs from the United States and other countries. Students also focus on performing an ostinato to support a given melody. They practice various Orff techniques as they learn new ostinato patterns. Students focus on analyzing and responding to music through analysis of musical form. They also perform music when using instruments to perform ostinati to accompany songs.
