Lower Elementry Spring Performance

Music at Eton

The mission of the music and drama program is to develop skills that will assist the students in expressing their ideas and feelings through music and drama. Research tells us, learning in the arts has clear connections to general academic achievement. Including arts education within the curriculum provides an important avenue for synthesizing the knowledge gained in all subject areas of the curriculum. The imaginative processes involved in these experiences bring the heart and mind together to formulate new ideas.

Using song experience games, folk dances and masterworks, the children focus on these elements of music: melody, rhythm, structure.

Goals:

Demonstrate a willingness to participate in music experiences

Develop listening skills

Identify appropriate audience and performance skills

Demonstrate respect for the contributions of others

Identify changes in pitch and melodic direction

Use singing skills to reproduce melodies

Identify form in terms of repetition and unity of rhythmic patterns

Use established criteria to analyze the work of self and others
