There is no question that the single most important wish of students in the music room is to play instruments! Once steady beat is established, students are ready to combine that with rhythm patterns. Students learn that playing instruments with others does not always mean playing all the time. In fact, different instruments can be playing different things at the same time! We learn to speak the rhythms, clap the rhythms, and finally play them on instruments. Students learn basic notation for reading rhythms. The instruments we play are called rhythm percussion instruments. The below video shows students over several weeks of using these instruments. Enjoy!

Welcome To Music at Porters Point School!
And so a new school year begins... Ms. Mutz met all students at Porters Point School last week. As you may have heard, there are now five classes of Kindergarten students, so that is a lot of new names for Ms. Mutz to learn. She asks that Kindergarten students come to class with name tags, at least for the first few weeks. Ms. Mutz already knows all the First and Second Grade students, with the exception of new students to the school.
Our Music schedule is tight this year with only five minutes in between classes, and Music classes have been reduced from 45 minutes to 40 minutes once a week, so we have no time to waste! Please visit this Music blog often as Ms. Mutz adds lots of information for you to get an idea of what goes on in Music class. The chart below sums up what we do in Music:
