Musical Rainbow Levels

RED: 3 & 4 Year olds

Children begin by building a repertoire of musical experiences. The songs and rhymes learned at this level will be used to discover musical concepts in later years. The goal is to have a fun, positive exprience in a group setting. Comparitives such as fast/slow, loud/soft, and higher and lower pitches are the concepts covered at this level. Children are made aware of beat in music. Parents are invited to take part in the class, or they may sit out if the child is ready to stay on their own. Lots of singing. Lots of musical games. Lots of fun!

YELLOW: 5 year olds

Kindergarten Level
Children begin their first music reading and writing booklets at this level. Hand signs are used to denote awareness of pitch differences. Rhythm names are spoken and written in stick notation. Pitch matching and melody charts are used to facilitate in-tune singing. Canon, ostinato, and some musical terms are used here as well.

GREEN: 6 year olds

Grade One Level
Children start the recorder at this level. The music staff is introduced. Children learn to read and write notes upon the staff using both absolute pitch names and hand sign names. The students create three booklets using three different keys for their reading and writing of music. Expanded use of hand signs, rhythm names and signs, canon and ostinato are also covered at this level.

Christmas party fun !

BLUE: 7 year olds

Grade Two Level:
At this band of the Rainbow the students continue to learn the recorder. Learning this instrument will give a wonderful head start on learning other instruments when the child is older. By the end of the year they will have learned to play many songs on the recorder in three different tonalities. Students also learn to read and write music using three full major and minor scales. The sharp and flat are introduced. Music history, canon, ostinatos and some part-singing is also done at this level.

Rehearsing outside for upcoming recital.

PURPLE: 8 year olds

Grade Three Level
At this level the students become quite dexterous on the recorder, learning several classical pieces and longer folk and popular pieces by the end of the year. Singing is improved through vocal exercises and solo work. Music theory is expanded to include two sharps and two flats, they learn several new scales and rhythms. Music history is expanded to include several famous composers. The students receive a binder with many different sections that fill up by the end of the year. Composition in question and answer form and in sequence is begun. Lots of part-work, music terms and signs, and more complicated ostinatos are used in this final level of the MUSICAL RAINBOW!
