The students in Division 3 attend Music for eighty minutes a week with Mrs. Nordstrand. In Term 2 we focused on two Elements of Music – Rhythm and Dynamics. Students experienced these concepts through discussion, videos, listening and responding to music, games and playing instruments.
Students explored the following terms for Dynamics (the volume of the sound): pianissimo, piano, mezzo piano, mezzo forte, forte, fortissimo, crescendo and decrescendo. For Rhythm we continued to build on past skills using sixteenth (tica tica) sixteenth and eighth (tica ti, ti tica) eighth (ti ti) quarter (ta), rest and half note (ta ah).
