About Grade 4After a year of being in an ensemble, we spend 4th grade learning about other ensembles as well as composers in depth. Fourth grade is also the year where students begin Chorus and can choose to do either band or strings. To learn more about these ensembles, click on the music ensemble tab in the menu.
Our work this year will revolve around 2 topics: musical ensembles and Composers. The first topic will allow students to comprehend the various types of ensembles there are besides chorus and band, and what it takes to be in an ensemble. Students will become a percussion ensemble and use the skills learned to create a composition for an in-class performance. In our second unit, students will learn about famous composers that wrote for various ensembles and will complete a composer project in the spring. Fourth grade students will end the year with a theater unit to prepare them for fifth grade, and the musical.
