6th Grade General Music Class Delivers a Brilliant Performance!










Click on the play button to hear the 6th grade performance.
Sixth-grade music students delivered a fantastic performance of their polyrhythmic piece on Friday, August 22nd. The fifth-period class put several vocabulary words into action for this performance - beat, tempo, rhythm, polyrhythm, notation, articulation, improvisation. A new vocabulary word - form - was introduced during this week's rehearsals. Students developed note reading skills, performance technique, and ensemble experience through this short unit. They also gained experience in working with others to achieve a common goal, a life skill that we will continue to emphasize throughout the semester.
