2nd Grade is a continuation of first grade music using more difficult song literature to expand our musical knowledge.  Throughout second grade we learn (at least) two more solfege notes- la and do (and maybe re).  We also learn about quarter rests and half notes/ half rests.  More dances and motor skills games are also added- things with jump ropes, balls, bean bags, etc.  
 

In 2nd Grade I can:

~Move my body and listen to music from a variety of cultures and composers

~Move my body, listen to, and sing in a variety of meters (2/4, 4/4, ¾, 6/8)

~Move my body, listen to, and sing in a variety of tonalities (Major and Minor)

~Learn the notes La, Do and Possibly Re

~Continue to work with quarter note, eighth note, and quarter rest rhythms

~Learn half note rhythms

~Recognize a repeat sign
