Music is everywhere: in concert halls, in music classes, in our natural environment, on our body... Last week, K, Grade 1 and 2 continued to build on their knowledge of body percussion. They listened to From Head to Toe by Eric Carle and tried to decide which actions were "good" body percussion and which ones were not. Some classes proceeded to creating their original body percussion effects. We will be using these sound effects to create original soundscapes.
Grade 3 and 4 students learned about the concept of "intervals" which, in music, means "the distance between two notes." Grade 4 students started putting different intervals together and had their first exposure to the concept of "harmony."
