Description

Grade 1 music deepens hands-on musicianship — echoing rhythms, humming melodies that move up and down and hearing tone color — and adds first musical vocabulary and notation. Students meet the composer Mozart, the families of the orchestra and the conductor, and discover how music tells stories in opera, instrumental works and ballet. They also explore jazz, a musical tradition born in America with African and African American roots.
