Melody Unit - First Kindergarten Unit
Welcome to our first unit for music class! The first year of music class is a preview of future concepts. We will study with more detail and variety throughout our K-5 music experience.
Our first unit is focused on Melody, the way the pitch can go high and low. We will sing and play melodies on the xylophone. We will use iconic notation to visualize the shapes of melodies from various songs. We will be looking for patterns of melody as well. Since music synthesizes so many elements of music in every song, we will also study hearing, feeling, and enacting steady beat.
