Dear TCDS Parents,
Welcome to K-3 music! This year we will create, perform, respond and find personal and social connections to music. Your child can expect to sing, play, compose, and perform all year long. In kindergarten we’ll start with the basics, like identifying steady beat and moving to the rhythm. First and second grades will begin to add melody, form, and pitch. Grade three is the year of the recorder, reading music, and collaborating as an ensemble. Please purchase a recorder for your third grader for practice at home. I strongly recommend getting a $5-8 recorder. Dollar store recorders...well, you get what you pay for. We will have recorders at school for them to use, so I encourage you to keep personal recorders at home. My goal is that they will love music so much that they will want to bring it home and share it with you.
Sincerely,
Ariella Bell
