Kindergarteners "Jump" into Musical Exploration

To start the new school year off, Mr. Coon said the class has been exploring basic music concepts.

For example, he said they have been learning about steady musical beats while marching to the song "Engine Engine #9."

The class has also been focusing on musical comparatives, such as high and low melodies, using active listening and creative movements with scarves.

Finally, the class has been learning about voice types through a fun nursery rhyme story chant called “Queen Caroline.”

Mr. Coon said the students have literally “jumped” right in to exploring music and building their first musicianship skills!
