Musical Phrases

In 2nd and 3rd grade music, we are focusing on music phrases. We listened to the song Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and the phrases in this song. After identifying the parts of the song, the class played the song on xylophones. When playing the instrument, they were also spending time developing an ear for musical tones: how they go up and down; and by their ears determining what came next. This follows a class where we had defined and rehearsed line and space notes on a musical staff.
