In this course, I will be offering a 16 week General Music class to 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade students. In this class, students will continue to learn the basics of music, such as rhythms (note names and note values), instruments and note letter names. Flash cards, posters and audio/video recordings will be used to aid in learning. Material in this class will build on what was learned in the Semester 1 (Fall) class.
Each month, the students will study a famous composer. Worksheets and listening guides will be provided. Below are the composers we will be studying:
January–Mozart
February–Beethoven
March–Rossini
April–Brahms
May–Saint-Saens
The students will also learn 1-2 different Scripture songs each month. PowerPoint slides and audio/video recordings will be used.
January–Do Not Be Afraid and Again, I Say Rejoice
February–I Can Do All Things
March–Make a Joyful Noise and With Me Everywhere
April–There Were 12 Disciples
May–Little People Can Do Big Things

I taught elementary General Music classes for 20 years before deciding to stay home with my son. I am passionate about Music and Christian education. I look forward to this opportunity to share music from a Christian perspective with your child!
