Our Grade 7 Music Discoveries
Grade 7 music continues where students completed music in grade 6. Further notes are learned with an introduction to playing the 12 bar blues "by ear" as well as the concert pitch scale along with full band listening and playing. Students play their band instruments for six weeks. The further six weeks students study music symbols, tempo, dynamics, composition, music maps and listening, and The Classical Period and two of its composers, Beethoven and Mozart. The world of musicals on the stage and behind the stage is also explored. Atlantic Canadian music is also a part of the students investigations.
