Music Week 11

Last week we did stations. Students had 4 centers that focused on skills we had already learned. The idea of stations is to review, reinforce, and evaluate students' progress.

K-2 stations:

1-Rhythm sticks-students had to keep a steady beat
2-Listening station-students listened to music that had the following features: high/low, fast/slow, loud/soft, short/long
3-Instrument-Kindergarten had to practice holding and hitting boomwhackers, 1st and 2nd had to practice basic mallet technique on xylophone.
4-Dance, Dance, Revolution-students had to feel the beat of the song and step on the corresponding arrow to the beat.


3-5 stations:

1-Flash cards-review symbols and note durations
2-Write treble clefs and the names of the line and space notes for the treble clef
3-Instrument-3rd grade reviewed recorder songs, 4th grade reviewed piano skills, 5th grade used the ukulele
4-Guitar Hero/Dance Dance Revolution-3rd and 4th grade students had to step on the arrows to the beat of the song. 5th grade had to push the corresponding buttons. The buttons also corresponded to the frets that we were using on ukulele.
