3rd Grade

This week 3rd graders are working on composition skills. It's a logical process that starts with creating a rhythm. Our rhythms are combinations of quarter notes, eighth notes, and rests, using pictures of the words "pop" and "pizza." Once we have a rhythm created, we can move our pictures to the staff and assign pitch to each note. We have been able to create all kinds of musical sounds using this process, and the possibilities are endless!
