Description

Grade 2 musicians add new skills: hearing the downbeat, gradual changes of tempo and volume, rounds and partner songs, verse and refrain, and singing the C major scale with do-re-mi. They begin reading the staff and treble clef with whole, half, quarter and eighth notes and rests. Listening focuses on the string and percussion families, keyboard instruments, and the music of Vivaldi, Bach and Beethoven, alongside songs tied to American history.
