[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP!  What a timely question! Brent parents just got a letter in the Tuesday News from the new music teacher!

It is packed with information, but I'll just give a quick synopsis:

PS3-K, learning solfege and body positions for Mi-Sol-La patterns,

1st and 2nd: steady beat patterns and quarter-note variation patterns using steady beat pats and Rhythm Sticks,

3rd, sing in harmony,

4th, Orff Instruments now, recorders and hand chimes later,

5th, full scale (Do-Do) patterns now, and guitar playing later.

I hope you will give the school a call and ask for more information.  Please share your opinion about what you learn.  You know far more about these things than most parents!

Good luck!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! That's great info. Just so you know, it's really great to have the Orff instruments. And adding recorders, hand chimes, and guitar would be great as well. That's a nice break down of a general music program. Now to get a band and orchestra option going for the older elementary kids! Thanks for sharing. We'll look into more before making any major decisions. [/quote]
