2 Course Name General Music K-2 Course Descrpition General music education in Grades K-2 teaches the basic musical concepts of steady beat, rhythm, melody, harmony, form, texture, and tonality. Cultivation of pleasant vocal production through singing is also a central goal. Music activities provide many opportunities for students to sing, play instruments, move to music, listen and analyze music, learn musical notation, create, and perform. The ground work for future music performance experiences in grades 3, 4, and 5 and beyond is laid here as students cultivate skills that will be showcased in choral and instrumental concerts. Grade Distribution Students in kindergarten are not assigned a formal grade. either S (Satisfactory) or N (Needs Improvement). Students in grades 1 and 2 are assigned a grade of Course Philosophy For General Music K-2 Philosophy. Music has played a central role in human life since the dawn of time and continues to do so to the present day. Therefore, we believe that music education is essential to a well-rounded educational program. In addition, we believe that elementary music edcucation in Dumont Public Schools enables students to become intelligent, well-informed consumers of music by providing them knowledge and tools with which to understand and appreciate the world around them.
