Piano Unit!!!

For about two weeks, the students have been learning how to play piano in General Music.  First they will learned to play simple songs in treble and bass clef individually.  Once they were comfortable performing in each clef solo, they will learn to play piano with both hands simultaneously.  For students who have played piano before, they started on music at an appropriate level for them.  This unit concludes with a 20 point performance assessment and a 10 Point composition/performance activity.  

Welcome to Music!!!!

Our first unit is on the components of rhythm. Throughout this unit students will learn to read, write, perform, and compose rhythms.  6th grade students will be focusing on basic rhythms in simple meter.  7th grade students will learn how to read and identify rhythms in simple, complex and compound time signatures. There will be a unit test for all grades. We will review in class the day prior by taking a "practice test."
