2nd grade music - Marking Period 1
During Marking Period 1, students practice identifying and describing the
classification of classroom and orchestral instruments according to methods of
sound production. They collaborate with others to classify classroom instruments
into categories such as woods, metals, shakers and scrapers, and drums and
describe the various tone colors of each group. Orchestral instruments are classified
in four families – woodwinds, strings, brass, and percussion. Students study the ways
in which sound is produced on these instruments and use these qualities to classify
them. Second graders are also asked to sing an expanded range of pitches with
appropriate vocal technique and to sing a variety of songs and tonal patterns in
tune. Students strive to improve their singing of various genres including singing
games.

2nd grade music - Marking Period 2
During Marking Period 2, second graders perform songs and dances from a variety
of historical periods and world cultures. This includes performing sequences of
movement in singing games and dances. Using classroom instruments, students
perform a bordun to accompany a given melody. Second graders are introduced to
half notes and rests and use metacognition to practice reading simple
rhythm patterns and other musical symbols. They also read and perform an
expanded range of pitches including do, re, and la.

2nd grade music - Marking Period 3
During Marking Period 3, students read simple rhythm and pitch patterns and
notate them using a five-line staff. They
analyze patterns of notes in spaces and around lines. As students learn more
about jazz, they take intellectual risks to
experiment with improvisation. Students use instruments and the voice to
improvise simple rhythmic and melodic phrases.

Reading and Notating Music
2nd grade music - Marking Period 4
During Marking Period 4, second graders listen to and describe music that
illustrates fast/slow, loud/soft, long/short, and high/low. They learn musical
terms such as lento, allegro, piano, and forte to describe these elements. Many of
these contrasts are presented in excerpts of music representing diverse styles,
periods, and cultures. In creating music, second graders compose simple rhythm
patterns and notate them using standard notation. Through effort, motivation,
and persistence, students are expected to sing an expanded range of pitches,
tonal patterns, and songs in tune with appropriate vocal technique.
