Discovering Music II

Designed for students in grades 3–5, this course builds on fundamental musicianship skills introduced in Discovering Music I. Aligning to the National Core Arts Standards, the course teaches the student to explore new concepts in rhythm and notation, as well as improve listening, notation, analysis, performance, and improvisation skills. The student will use a basic understanding of the orchestra to explore instrumentation and orchestration in more depth, and analyze compositional style from a range of periods. With audio, visual, and interactive technologies, this course provides a unique and advanced learning experience. Discovering Music I is a prerequisite for this course.
