2nd Grade

Our Seconed Grade students will begin preparation for their annual Music Show, which will take place on Thursday, February 21st at 6 P.M. and 7 P.M.

1st Grade

First Graders began their study of rhythm and are learning how to recognize quarter notes, half notes and eight notes. The funny song "Lazy John" will help them learn the difference between even and uneven sounds. Students will continue their study of the great German composer J.S. Bach.

Kindergarten

Our Kindergarten students are getting ready for the Winter Holidays by studying P.I. Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker. Their new rhythmic singing dance is "Jump Jim Joe".

 

Dear Todd Hall parents!

Please, ask your children to share their Thanksgiving Song with you.

All of our Todd Hall students are busy learning new things in our music classroom. Here are some highlights for each grade.

Pre-K:
Our Pre-K children are learning how to use their "singing" voices with their new song, "Clap Your Hands." They began to explore the sounds of our music instruments (hand drums, triangles, maracas, and tambourines).

Kindergarten:
The Kindergarten students are focusing on the beat in music. They are learning to chant, dance, and play the xylophone on the beat. They successfully completed their unit on Saint-Sans, "The Carnival of the Animals" and began their preparation for the Thanksgiving Feast.

First Grade:
The First Graders are completing their study of musical form with their "Can't Jump Josie" song, as well as beginning their Thanksgiving song. This month the students will begin their study of music by J. S. Bach.
