Greetings from the Music Room

We started the year with our traditional EKA name game. We added a special twist by "saying" our names with a drum. One of our focuses this year is learning to recognize the difference between beat and rhythm, and recognizing opposites in music (high/low, fast/slow, getting louder/getting quieter....). We will also continue developing our singing voices. I will be using the Kodaly philosophy in music education to teach melody and rhythm reading skills. I'm looking forward to another great year with your children. Patty Riggle Bonner-music
