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."
