2nd Grade Music
In 2nd grade students begin to associate more of the musical elements to their actual signs and symbols through singing, moving, playing, improvising and composing. In February, students showcase their musical knowledge by presenting a music program that demonstrates the musical skills learned in the areas of the primary musical elements: melody, rhythm, harmony, form, tone color, and expression.
Second grade students are experiencing the creative process of performing songs that incorporate the elements of music: steady beat, rhythm, melody, harmony, expression, and timbre. Students will showcase their musical experiences in a music program for the whole school and for parents and families.
