The Second Grade music continues with rote-song experiences. The children now have books. The key chord and tonal patterns are introduced, and the children hear, sing and build tonal patterns in several keys. They de- velop a feeling for mood and the correct use of the sing- ing voice. They learn to chant with a rhythmic under- standing, the quarter, half, dotted-half and whole notes. They too, have singing games and action songs.
The youngsters in the Third Grade receive knowl- edge of the staff, the key signature, the rhythm signature and the feeling for the "beat." In this grade they learn how to find the key note, whereas in the Second Grade, they are told where "do" is. They sing intervals of thirds and other tonal exercises. They experiment with song making, which incidentally, continues through all the Grades. They are introduced to the orchestral instru- ments.
When the Fourth Grade is reached, the child learns to translate metrical values into mathematical concepts -a run note becomes an eighth note. He learns the name of rests and how to sing a dotted quarter note followed by an eighth note. He learns melodies starting on the first, second, third and fourth count of the measure. He sings interval skips of fourths, fifths, sixths and octaves. He learns sharp and flat chromatics, the work of the
110
natural, chord patterns, the names of orchestral instru- ments and the lives of some composers. He sings rounds, which are the foundation for part singing and he learns the Natural Minor tonality.
The Fifth Grade music begins with further exten- sion of interval study. Two-part singing is stressed. Songs are learned in all major and minor keys. Funda- mental rhythms are reviewed and the new compound rhythms are taught, the dotted quarter-note beat being stressed. The Harmonic Minor Scale is taught and the class learns songs in Harmonic Minor. They have many tonal drills including three tones ascending and descend- ing chromatically.
In the Sixth Grade, the child has the full use of the Minor tonality-Natural, Harmonic and Melodic. He experiences three-part singing. He reviews all com- monly used rhythm patterns and learns the rhythm of four equal tones to a beat and the meaning of syncopa- tion. He sings triplets; does scale building with knowl- edge of the piano keyboard; and he delves a little into basic Harmony with choral work. The instruction that he receives in the class room should form a good musical background for instrumental study as well as vocal.
Because of the size of the Junior High classes, it was necessary to divide them into alternating groups, so I see each once every two weeks. These classes, of course, receive no music instruction in the interim be- tween my visits. They learn complicated rhythms, the F clef, four tones ascending and descending chromat- ically, a review of Solfegio and intense staff study.
The High School music consists of the weekly choral class. This Group is limited to the students who can pass
111
the entrance voice test. We present choral numbers at the High School Musicales and at Graduations.
In closing, may I thank you, Mr. Rowe, the School Committee, the Grade teachers (of whom there are no finer), and especially Mr. Clough for your kindness and cooperation.
Respectfully submitted, CHRISTINE M. WILSON, Supervisor of Music Education
