FMS students are already diving into music education this school year! Here’s just a few of the things that we’ve been working on: 

Primary – Vocal exploration, keeping a steady beat, movement to music, listening, care of instruments and materials (You can listen to this month’s Primary Playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5qj6ifx2bbm4xDRZ1djRfw?si=H9Z97_XUSzS8sqtRHcbDYw&dl_branch=1)

Lower Elementary – Solfege syllables and hand signs, playing percussion instruments, music notation (quarter notes, eighth notes, rests), rhythm recognition and repetition, movement to music.

Upper Elementary –  Copying and creating our own body percussion, the rules and etiquette of the Star Spangled Banner, listening and copying more advanced rhythms (quarter notes, half notes, rests, eighth notes, whole notes).
