Students in fifth grade will begin learning how to blend in an ensemble of voices or instruments. This will prepare them for their future endeavors in middle school band or choir. They will learn to match timbre, style, dynamics, all while watching and responding to a conductor's gestures. Fifth graders will continue to evaluate musical performances using their knowledge of musical terminology. They will also continue work with composing their own melodies and rhythms and recognizing pitches and rhythms using standard musical notation.
