Grade Two/Three

September

We are beginning this school year talking about The Science of Sound.

We will explore vibrations, sound waves, decibels, and the way different materials produce sounds to start our year with curiosity, and some understanding of what music actually is!

Then we will play some simple songs with Orff percussion accompaniment to use these sounds in thoughtful ways. And silly ways!

The songs we will explore are:

There Are No Bananas In the Sky

Alligator Pie

Very silly, fun songs with lots of opportunities for instrument exploration.

We will also do some drama activities as the spookier time of Fall approaches…
