Third Grade music classes began this week.
Third Grade is when we introduce the concept of melody by teaching all students to play the recorder. We also discussed how "aerophones" in general work. The students had a lot of fun looking at examples of flutes from around the world as well as "improvising" on their two hole flutes. Next week they get their recorders.
Homework -- for next week complete the aerophone worksheet and compose a song for the two whole flute. This song will be sixteen notes long and will consist of the 4 notes the flute can make -- both holes closed, both holes open, large hole closed, small hole open. Remember it is okay to repeat notes even in a row.
