Welcome to Music 2009/2010

Back to School Newsletter

I am so excited to once again have the opportunity to teach Core Knowledge Music in the classical setting at Caprock Academy.  Far beyond singing a few fun songs for the younger grades and more challenging songs for the upper grades; everything your student learns and experiences in music this year is intentionally selected to support success in music, connections and success to other subject areas, academic success in future years and to provide a wide body of common knowledge; a well to draw from as successful adults. This year in music we will be meeting or exceeding the Colorado State Standards for Music as well as the Core Knowledge Foundation Guidelines.

Colorado State Standards for Music – short version

1. Students sing or play on instruments* a varied repertoire* of music, alone or with others.

2. Students will read and notate* music.

3. Students will create* music.

4. Students will listen to, analyze, evaluate, and describe music.

5. Students will relate music to various historical and cultural* traditions.

            *Grade level appropriate and specific

Key ideas for each grade based on the Core Knowledge Sequence

Kindergarten:  Through participation become familiar with some basic elements of music: rhythm melody, steady beat.  Move responsively to music.  Become familiar with four specified classical works.  Sing.  Sing.  Sing.  Make steady beat with rhythm instruments.

First Grade:  Through participation become familiar with basic elements of music:  rhythm, melody, form, etc.  Move responsively to music.  Understand dynamics loud and quiet.  Hum melody, echo rhythms and melodic patterns and play simple rhythms on percussion instruments. Music can tell a story.  Orchestra instruments are divided into families.  Listen to opera, Jazz, Hansel and Gretel, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, and other classical works.  Identify composer, conductor, families of instruments of the orchestra by sight and sound.  Sing, sing, sing, and connect music with history and other classroom units.

Second Grade: We will sing and move responsively as we move west, celebrate our flag, and learn about the Civil War. In addition to all that singing and movement, second grade will become familiar with basic elements of music: rhythm, melody, steady beat, meter, C scale and begin note naming in the treble clef.  While learning about all families of instruments, second graders will focus on percussion and keyboard instruments, and listen (for identification) to masterworks by Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Vivaldi, and Mendelssohn.

 

Third Grade: Most of the songs on the Core Knowledge list for third grade are in 3 / 4 meter; and they are FUN songs-all 15 of them.  In addition to moving responsively to many of these songs, third graders will begin a recorder unit in January, after learning to name the notes on the treble staff during first semester.  Our unit on families of instruments will focus on the brass and woodwind families where we enjoy listening to works by Aaron Copeland (Fanfare for the Common Man), George Gershwin (Rhapsody in Blue) and Debussy (Afternoon of the Faun).

Fourth Grade: Through participation (think singing, clapping and choreography) fourth graders become familiar with several basic elements of music: rhythm, melody, harmony (round singing), form, verse and chorus, phrasing, music symbols, as well as experiencing how well music ties in with history and every other subject learned in the classroom. Fourth grade students become adept at note values and note name reading in the treble clef and enjoy applying their note reading skills to playing recorder in the second semester. We will have opportunity to listen to Gregorian chant, selections from The Magic Flute (Mozart), pieces by Handel, and a symphony by Franz Joseph Hayden. Did you know that Hayden is considered the Father of the Symphony (just as Madison is the father of The Constitution) because he perfected the common practice of four movements in a symphonic composition.  Four movements-Fourth grade – how clever is that?

Fifth Grade:  In the home classroom, fifth graders study The Civil War, The Oregon Trail, Fifty states and capitols.  Fifth grade participation songs are carefully chosen by Core Knowledge (and me) to connect with the large body of fifth grade knowledge. Through participation Fifth Graders become familiar with numerous elements of music:  rhythm, melody, harmony, form, Latin or Italian musical terms, rounds, canons, part reading, note naming, etc.  Listening and Understanding music includes: Symphony No. 5 by Beethoven, Pictures at an Exhibition (Mussorgsky), and selections from A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Mendelssohn.

Sixth Grade: The main idea for sixth grade is: Eras of music.  Sixth grade students will listen for identification and enjoyment to composers from the Baroque era (Bach and Handel); Classical era (Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven); Romantic era (Beethoven, Chopin, Shubert). Sixth grade students will also polish skills in note reading and become acquainted with an ever lengthening list of Italian musical terms. Songs that connect with classroom themes are chosen for participation and performance.

Seventh Grade: Seventh Grade Core Knowledge music includes all the elements of music learned in previous grades plus additional Italian terms and music notation.  Seventh grade students will write original measures of rhythm and original melodic phrases and understand 12 major keys, 12 minor keys, and how to build triads and construct a guitar or piano accompaniment. Music listening and appreciation for seventh grade students focuses on Nationalistic music from the Romantic era, music and national identity, and American musical traditions (Jazz and Blues).

Eighth Grade:  Eighth grade elements of music include a review of all previous grades: orchestra families of instruments, vocal ranges, Italian terms, note values, note names of treble and bass clef, musical symbols and terms, and eras of music.  Core Knowledge emphasis for eighth grade is on Non-Western Music, American Musical Theatre, Opera, Modern music, and music and national identity.

Ninth Grade: Ninth Grade students have opportunity to choose a semester (or two) of music as a fine art elective.  Music courses offered for the 2009 – 2010 school year are 1) Show Choir and 2) Caprock drum, bugle and fife corps.

Volunteers for Music:  As we near performance time each year, I send out a letter detailing various needs for music (costuming, stagecraft, traffic director, accompaniment).  If you have a special skill or interest in music, please let me know by dropping me an e-mail or leaving a voice message. Goal hour also has openings for string coaches, dance instructors, brass, woodwind and percussion specialists.

 

Music for the school year 2009-2010

In addition to the continuing Core Knowledge music program in grades K-8, Caprock Academy will offer two music electives to high school students for the school year 2009/2010.  The electives are: Drum Bugle and Fife Corps; and Show Choir.

Drum Bugle and Fife Corps/ Wind and Percussion Ensemble Information (see your enrollment book for complete course description)

Drum bugle and fife corps is designed to include every percussion and wind instrument , but excludes string instruments which are considered orchestra instruments.  Students must provide their own instrument.

Drums: Primarily snare drum, usually includes bells, and may include additional percussion as available. Piano players wishing to play in an instrumental ensemble may sign up to play bells.  Students need to provide own snare drum, sticks, and bells.

Bugle:  Primarily trumpet, may be defined as Trumpet, French Horn (Mellophone), Baritone, Tuba,- any brass instrument (including trombone) already played by the student, or specifically trumpet if a beginning student.  Students must provide own instrument.

Fife:  Specifically FLUTE/ piccolo and may include any other woodwind instrument (clarinet, saxophone) already played by the student.

Students who have not had previous training / lessons will need to choose one of the three primary instruments: snare drum, trumpet /cornet, or flute and provide that instrument.

F.Y.I. 

Flute uses the same basic fingering as soprano recorder

Trumpet and Cornet are basically the same instrument

Bells are laid out like a keyboard and read in the treble like the right hand of piano.  Piano players make great percussionists

Beginning instruments may be purchased or rented from one of our local music stores. See the links to the right.

Director’s Notes:  What you will see and hear tonight

There are ninety-four folk songs listed in the Core Knowledge Sequence for grades K-5.  Relax, we are only performing 26 of them tonight.  These song were carefully selected by Core Knowledge educators to match content and skills learned in other classroom subjects, particularly history, as well as being useful for learning music elements such as steady beat, meter (3/4, 4/4, 6/8)rhythm, melody and harmony.  All the songs you will hear from Kindergarten, First Grade, Second Grade and Third Grade appear on the Core Knowledge song list for that respective grade level.  These songs are not only FUN to learn and perform, they provide associations to reinforce memory of facts and details.

You will hear and see a lot of clapping tonight.  Clapping is an excellent way to learn steady beat, differences in meter (waltz, march, dance), and to experience syncopation.  In singing the song,             B.I N.G.O, Kindergarten students are learning to spell, subtract letters and add claps, as well as to focus on the song.  First and Second graders are learning the coordination of Step, Clap, Clap, while singing fun folk lyrics and experiencing waltz time when they perform Take Me Out to the Ballgame, and Home on the Range.  Listen for syncopation when grades five through eight perform Good News…and that good old country stomp in Tall Texas, as sung by Fourth Grade.

“Rodeo” is the recorded music you hear to accompany dancing of the Virginia Reel.  Rodeo is a third grade Core Knowledge listening selection written by American Composer Aaron Copeland.  Copeland liked to incorporate American folk songs into his compositions and to champion the common man in his pieces.

The Civil War is a subject introduced in second grade and covered in greater depth in the fifth grade.  I have enjoyed staging this particular musical by Roger Emerson and John Jacobson with Core Knowledge Fifth and Sixth Graders several times in past years, and am looking forward to directing this more advanced version with grades five through eight .  American Musical Theatre is one of the units for eighth grade Core Knowledge music. Listen for the beautiful, developing voices.

All That Glitters Might Be Colorado is my own original composition.  It was written especially for Colorado Fourth Graders in order to fulfill the final project requirements for a college Colorado History course.  I would choose to make research into music any day.  The musical was first performed at Lincoln Academy in Arvada, Colorado.

Costuming Needs

Looking for a Repeat Performance:  In the year 2002, Mrs. Shellabarger staged “The Blue and the Gray” for the second time in Arvada  with magnificent results.  This stellar production was due, in part, to a size 2 costuming volunteer Mom who raided her closet and those of her two sisters and provided old bridesmaid dresses for 30 fifth and sixth grade girls singing in “The Blue and the Gray.” As frosting on the cake, Grandmother was a retired home economics teacher and volunteered to hem and press all the costumes.  The music teacher hopes to repeat the experience at Caprock.  Who will join in this expedition to search attic trunks, trousseaus, and heirlooms to costume our Civil War Belles?  Please reply to c.shellabarger@caprockacademy.org with Southern Belles in the subject line.
