A New Semester

We are back from winter break and took a week to review material from last semester before we move ahead into new material. This week, your kindergarten students will begin a study of musical instruments starting with the piano. They will listen to and discuss different sounds the piano can make and in later weeks compare the sound to other instruments they hear. Meanwhile, your 1st grade students will finish a study of the Classical era of music and experience the transition between the traditional forms of the 18th century and Romantic music of the 19th century through the works of Ludwig van Beethoven.
