Music Education
This course of study develops childrens'
ability to identify different sounds and to change and use sounds expressively
in response to a stimulus.
During this unit, children make a variety of sounds with their voices, bodies,
find objects and instruments, and explore how these sounds can be changed and
used expressively in response to a stimulus. They use this knowledge to select
sounds that reflect the mood of chants and songs. Music may also be used to
heighten the effect of a chosen story and the child learns that music has an
enriching role in his life and strives to include it in a variety of activities.
