GRADE ONE MUSIC
Grade 1 students will listen to, make and move to music. They will describe the sounds around them and explore beats and rhythms. Through simple action songs and singing games (where students might sing alone or in a group), by following stories told by music, and by using rhythm instruments, they will begin to understand how music can express feelings. The students will also add their own sounds and rhythms to poems, stories and songs.

Let's Learn about Pitch
So we all know that in music pitch is the highness and lowness of sounds. Check out the Notekins as they explore high and low notes. Then go to the boomwhacker or xylophone in the main menu to practice playing low to high or high to low.
