Ms. Niki’s Music Class

Children ages 2–4 will engage in 30-minute music classes singing a varied repertoire of music, moving to lyrics, and acting out stories from musical books. Students will:

  • Develop awareness of the characteristics of musical sounds and silence and the diversity of sounds in the environment
  • Identify and respond to repeated patterns heard in music
  • Identify and respond to changes heard in music (fast/slow, loud/soft, long/short, high/low)
  • Use and simulate environmental sounds
  • Experience performance through playing instruments and listening to the performance of others
  • Experiment with vocal sounds that use a variety of pitches: singing in an age-appropriate range, speaking, whispering, and calling, and matching pitches within an age-appropriate vocal range
  • Verbalize or use visual representation or acting out stories to express musical preferences (e.g., how it makes me feel, what it makes me think about, what it reminds me of)
