Composer of the Month

 I have implemented a new program this year that I and the kids are very excited about: Composer of the Month! Through Composer of the Month, your 3rd-6th grade child will study a new composer who writes music and each week we will focus on one of their songs. Using this curriculum, I will be able to teach appreciation for music by learning about music themes (melodies), harmonies, instruments, vocal styles, forms, dynamics, tempo, mood, and foreign languages. In addition, we will cover a lot of historical information surrounding the lives of the composers. Please encourage your child’s love of music by helping them learn this year’s composers, listening along with them, and prepare to be amazed by how much your child knows. As you participate in your child’s musical development, you and your child will discover life-long benefits that music can bring!
