Kindergarten Music Curriculum
 
Hawthorne Kindergarteners receive music instruction from a credentialed music specialist one day per week for 35 minutes. Students learn about music through lively activities including listening, singing, and moving to music. Children’s books, puppets, and singing games are incorporated into music lessons to help children learn basic music skills:
 
  • sing age-appropriate songs from memory
  • identify and demonstrate an understanding of singing voice (head voice)
  • identify and demonstrate an understanding of steady beat and rhythm
  • identify and demonstrate an understanding of the following concepts: high/low; fast/slow; loud/soft; short/long; same/different
