1 1st grade music - Marking Period 1
During Marking Period 1, first graders develop an understanding of musical form by identifying repeated and contrasting sections heard in music. First graders practice the critical thinking skill of analysis as they listen to a variety of songs and instrumental compositions and identify sections that sound the same and different. Students also practice singing a variety of songs and tonal patterns, matching pitch within a limited vocal range. The focus is on the contrast between high and low sounds. These skills are developed through the performance of simple folk songs and singing games. Students will also identify the sounds of classroom instruments. Following musical cues in singing games is a major emphasis of the marking period. Measurement Topics: Responding to Music

2 1st grade music - Marking Period 2
During Marking Period 2, students compare, perform, and move to musical sounds which demonstrate contrasts in fast/slow, loud/soft, long/short, and high/low. They are exposed to music from a variety of cultures and styles in these experiences. Students continue to play classroom instruments and should be able to perform a steady beat on classroom instruments. First grade students learn to read simple rhythm and pitch patterns from iconic notation. By the end of the marking period, they are asked to take intellectual risks by creating simple rhythmic and melodic patterns and notating. Measurement Topics: Responding to Music Performing Music

3 1st grade music - Marking Period 3
During Marking Period 3, first graders use effort, motivation, and persistence to practice reading quarter and eighth note rhythms and so-mi pitch patterns. These concepts are explored through folk songs and singing games. Students notate simple rhythm and pitch patterns using iconic representation. In addition, they practice notating pitches placing notes in spaces and around lines. Students learn about improvisation and its use in jazz. Measurement Topics: Creating Music Reading and Notating

4 1st grade music - Marking Period 4
During Marking Period 4, first graders continue to practice reading simple rhythm and pitch patterns. They are introduced to the sign for a quarter rest as a representation of a silent beat. Experiences with reading music contribute to students’ ability to notate simple rhythm and pitch patterns, placing notes in spaces and around lines. These tasks require students to monitor their own thinking using metacognition. Much of the focus during this marking period is on creating music.
