Prep - 2 Music

Beginning Term 3, all Prep – 2 students at Watsonia Heights participate in a one hour weekly music program for the first half of the year to give the children a taste of things to come as they progress through to grade 3 and beyond where they will be involved in an instrumental music program. In these weekly music sessions students learn about musical elements such as, beat and rhythm, pitch and melody, tempo, dynamics and form (ie. Parts of songs like verses and chorus).

Students enjoy these sessions and are engaged in activities which help them explore music through experimentation with tuned and untuned percussion instruments, singing, dancing and creating their own mini performances to share with their class. This program is beneficial in developing confidence and motor skills as well as using music as a way to express their feelings or alleviate nerves.
