Assessment
Students will demonstrate their learning through engagement in class, the performance of skills practiced in class, and the innate desire to engage voluntarily in musical activities as part of their play.

Class Experience

This is a specially designed class to engage very small (micro-groups) of young students in highly active musical experiences. Each week, students will practice singing, movement, and experiences in reading and using musical notation. Students will learn songs from the rich heritage of folk music.  Together in class, we will use these songs to explore melodic and rhythmic notation. Students will use the notes studied to create their own rhythmic and melodic motifs.  With the support to the teacher, the students will use sound from their environment, including body percussion and basic household items, to create original musical expressions, accompaniments for the songs we sing, and even their own, new musical themes.

Each class, students will learn a new song. In each subsequent class, we will build on the song(s) we learned previously and use them to explore and create with notation, body percussion, and simple musical instruments created from household items. 

Activityes for learners enrolled in the Week of August 9:
     Session 1: introduction of quarter and eighth notes, Eighth-note pair + quarter note motif; Teddy Bear; introduction of body percussion 
     Session 2: Quarter note + eighth-note pair motif (reverse order from last class); Peas Porridge Hot , rhythmic ostinato
     Session 3: Four eighth notes (two eight-note pairs) motif; Garden Gate chant
     Session 4: Introduction of quarter rest; review of quarter and eighth notes; "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and "In the Hall of the Mountain King" from the Peer Gynt Suite by Edvard Grieg

Activityes for learners enrolled in the Week of August 16: 
     Session 1: Introduction of mi, re, and do on the staff; [mi, re, do] motif, focus song: Old Blue
     Session 2: [do, re, mi] motif, focus song, Down By the Station
     Session 3: stepwise v.s skipping motion (mi-do] and [do-mi] motifs, focus song: Phyllis the Camel
     Session 4: review of stepping and skipping motifs; focus song Long-Legged Sailor; "Spring" from Vivaldi's Four Seasons

Learning Goals

Students will practice performing (singing, movement, and speaking) rhythms using quarter and eighth notes and quarter rests.
Students will build a verbal and aural repertoire of songs utilizing major and minor tonalities, and practice reading melodic notation using solfege.
Students will develop awareness of sounds and timbre while exploring sounds in the environment.

Other Details

Supply List
Students will need 
   - a big (16 ounce) plastic cup (think red Solo Cup, but a souvenir cup from the movies or a ball park also works great) and an unsharpened wooden pencil with a complete erased. Even better the pencil will have a "cap eraser," the larger, replacement erasers that replace or slip over the existing eraser.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
