General information about Kindergarten Music

In kindergarten music, the students will sing, dance and play percussion instruments. These experiences will include a blend of improvisation and student creation in addition to traditional songs. Rhythmically, students will read and perform quarter notes, quarter rests, and eighth notes.  The students will also identify contrasts in music and learn to identify classroom instruments.

Grades: Every 9 weeks, kindergarten students are given grades for Rhythm and Pitch. Assessment of these skills will be done during activities, songs and games. For example, some of the pitch assessments will be done during a game called “cuckoo.” In each round of this game, several students get to sing individually; this provides me with an opportunity to listen for accuracy, understanding, and skill. While grades are only given for rhythm and pitch, a wide array of skills and concepts will be incorporated into this class.

Learning Skills and Behaviors:
            In my experience, the vast majority of students follow my rules and procedures consistently. I reward this good behavior by allowing students to wear ties and super hero capes. Students who demonstrate inappropriate behaviors will have their behavior grade lowered from S (Successful) to P (Progressing). If a student demonstrates frequent or consistent inappropriate behaviors, the student’s grade will be lowered to N (Needs Improvement).  My rules and procedures are posted in both word and picture form in my classroom.
