Music is a language: it has elements of all languages ---- phrasing, structure, grammar, etc. It communicates thoughts and feelings. Kindergarten students have experienced the power of music and the way it evokes emotions. They have been asked to listen to excerpts from some well-known classical pieces and choose a colour that best describes the emotion the music evokes. Grade 1 students explored nursery rhymes and used them to tell musical stories.
Grade 2 students revisited the solfège, sol, mi and la while Grade 3 students continued to build on their knowledge of musical question and answer. Grade 4 students are about to start their next project namely, The Fantastic Music Machine. They will be applying the various concepts on rhythmic pattern, musical structure and phrasing to create some original works.
