Elementary Music
My early introduction to learning music as well as my musical studies have allowed me to become a teacher that knows how to approach music from a more organic perspective. I stress the importance of establishing a good musical foundation, one that includes music literacy, yet I also recognize that it is equally important for students to comprehend music through feel. My students will become comfortable reading, writing and most importantly — hearing music.
Objectives:
- Students will learn how to feel the beat through traditional dances
- Students will explore how rhythm looks in writing
- Students will learn how to sing using solfeggi and hand signs
