Grade 1 Music
I will not be working with Grade 1 students this year but here is some information about the Grade 1 French music curriculum. Please note this curriculum is different from the English Language Music curriculum due to the differences in language and culture. If you would like further information about the curriculum objectives please contact your classroom teacher who will be teaching their own music classes this year.
Grade 1 music is all about learning to describe and label different aspects of melody, rhythm and harmony. My lessons are taught in French with French folk song material as well as music from other cultures and traditions. Students learn to sing, listen, move, and play non-pitched percussion instruments such as hand drums and rhythm sticks while also learning French. Here are some of the big ideas we explore in Grade 1 music class:
Rhythm
Melody
Harmony
