In third grade students will begin learning about the different families of instruments and how those instruments sounds differ from one another. We will continue learning to notate music, but we will expand our horizons to include notating music in 3/4 time. Third graders will be continuing to expand their knowledge of musical terminology, and they will use these terms to evaluate live and recorded performances. Students in third grade will also continue learning to use improvisation as a basis for melodic and rhythmic accompaniment. Check back often to see pictures of students in action here at J.T. Barber!
