Curriculum
General music class, designed to give students a deeper
understanding of reading and interpreting music. The goal is to
establish a lifelong appreciation and understanding of music. We will:
-
play games to demonstrate note and rhythm reading abilities.
-
learn proper singing technique, stressing proper posture, breathing, diction, and tone production.
-
listen to music from different eras in history. We will also learn about other important historical and artistic achievements of the time. There will be a test over the material covered.
-
explore the many ways that the voice can be used for expressive purposes.
-
sing on the final concert of the semester (this is required for the class--50 points).
-
make music videos in groups (50 points). Students will need to work cooperatively to plan the setting, props, style, music choice, and duties of each student in the group.
