4th Grade
Overview of Fourth Grade Music
Fourth grade music is an extension of those audiation skills we began developing in third grade music. We continue building our understanding of music through inference learning.
In fourth grade, students have command of their singing voices. We focus on extending the child’s singing range, controlling the voice (dynamics) and singing with expression. All students have the opportunity to join the before school BCE Choir starting in fourth grade. Students may also choose to join the before school band or orchestra as well.
We begin to apply our knowledge about the elements of music: melody (tonality & meter), harmony, form, texture, timbre, and style in composition projects. Composition helps us to demonstrate our knowledge of music as well as express ourselves creatively. Fourth grade composition projects may include: 12-Bar Blues, Songwriting, Recorder Compositions, and Orff Compositions.
We continue to develop our music reading skills with the recorder. Students will need to locate their recorder from last year or choose to purchase another one. Forms are due back to Mr. Miller by TBA. 4th graders will begin playing recorder after the fall break.
