Fourth+Grade

** 4th Grade Music **
The Fourth Grade students have been discovering new Patriotic Music and studying the history of the Star Spangled Banner. They are enjoying singing a rap song about sharing Martin Luther King Jr.’s message. They have begun to conduct patterns and learned about duets and contour in melody. We will begin holiday music, but we will also sing Native American music, a folk song by Cat Stevens, a song from Japan, and Octopus’s Garden by the Beatles. By Fourth Grade, students love music of the previous generation. It is always great to expose them to music you loved to listen to growing up. They are very intrigued by the Beatles and other “boy bands” of the day.
