Welcome to Fourth Grade Music!
Fourth Grade Music Class builds on all of the concepts introduced in the prior elementary grades, as well as getting students ready for middle school music. Fourth graders will read both rhythmic and melodic notation, become more adept at recorder playing, learn folk dances, music creation and improvisation, and learn basic knowledge about instruments that they may have the chance to play as older students.
In fourth grade, students get to learn even more songs on the recorder! While last year we were unable to play recorder, we hope to begin playing them soon this year!
4th Graders take a very special trip each year to see the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra! This is something that all BAS 4th grade students attend during the school day in the spring. At the field trip, students are able to play and sing along with the orchestra!
