Third Grade Music

Instructor: Donna Early

The primary goal of our Third grade music program here at Woodlawn is two fold. First we will integrate and bring to life the subjects that the third graders are learning throughout the year. Different subjects like Little House, our local communities and their histories, Jamestown and early America, the Oregon Trail, migration and immigration, our times tables and so much more, are all put to music and reinforced through song. But while singing our subjects, third graders will learn basic singing and voice technique. We will also be working on music theory. Building on the music theory from 2nd grade they will learn to recognize notes on the staff and learn to sing and play those notes in a melody on a keyboard. They will learn about counting notes and rhythm in a song. Each student will learn how to play the recorder and as the year progresses, be able to play along with keyboard or guitar. Choreography and dance will also be used as a tool to bring the songs to life but also reinforce rhythm. Students will work on writing lyrics to a song that we will put to music and rhythm and perform for our parents. During the months of November and December, we will learn seasonal songs that help celebrate the holidays. The lower school will perform a Fall or Christmas program for our parents and in the Spring we will be learning selected songs and choreography to be performed at Night of the Arts, our spring music performance.
