Goal
For all Pre-K - 2nd grade students at Southside to reap the cognitive, academic, and social benefits of music-making by actively engaging with these high-quality Orff xylophones and mallets (from West Music) in the music classroom setting.
What will be done with my students
Students will use these instruments...
* as tools to meet their learning goals outlined in the music curriculum and National Standards for Music Education and Florida's Next Generation Sunshine State Standards.
* to perform expressively a wide variety of music.
* to perform independently and cooperatively with others within an instrumental ensemble as they blend instrumental timbres, match dynamic levels, and respond to the cues of the conductor.
* to create, organize, and develop their own musical ideas (melodies, variations, and accompaniments) and artistic work then share it with others.
Benefits to my students
The benefits from using these melodic instruments are long-term. Not only do these durable high-quality instruments "last a lifetime", they would be used consistently throughout each school year. Students would be have multiple opportunities to use them from Pre-K through 2nd grade as they scaffold their musical knowledge and skills.
While using these melodic instruments within a cooperative learning community, students will
* deepen their understanding of musical concepts such as rhythm (long and short sounds), pitch (high and low sounds), and melody as they read music and compose their own.
* develop and refine their musical techniques of playing melodic instruments with accuracy and precision from year to year in the music classroom.
* inspire a love of music-making that will last a lifetime!
