Third grade enthusiastically explore the concept of texture (combining multiple layers of sound) as they review what they learned
about musical notation last year. They will layer rhythms and melodies to make two-part harmony and will explored chord construction on the xylophones and autoharp in various songs.They will also experience changes in tempo in Mrs. Murphy’s Chowder and vocal tone color in Who’s ThatTapping at My Window?, always keeping the texture concept in mind, creating layered accompaniments for each.They also enjoy rhythmic pieces such as Grandpa’s Whiskers, and singing classics such as This Land is Your Land. They will also brainstorm the assignment of “signature sounds” to the Halloween song Skin and Bones, and utilized arpeggiated chords to accompany it.
