K-5 General Music
At Deerfield Elementary School, our elementary music curriculum is loosely based on the textbook series, Share the Music. This series teaches skills in the areas of singing, playing instruments, improvising and composing, reading notation, listening and analyzing, and connecting cultural and historical influences. Throughout the school year, this text is supplemented with other age-appropriate repertoire and activities as well as opportunities for students to perform.
Each student in grades K-5 has music class twice per week for 30 minutes. Developing good performance skills, listening skills, and cooperative learning skills are important for success in music. Each student is expected to actively and appropriately participate in all class activities to fully understand the concepts and reinforce learning.
