Hello and welcome to the Archway Lincoln K-1 Music Blog!
My name is Rachel Boswell and this will be my first year teaching at a Great Hearts Academy.
I am so excited to be a part of this brand new school and begin a musical journey with your students. Before I go into details about what we will be doing this year, here is a bit of information about me.
I am a native of Rochester, NY with a BS degree in Music Education from Roberts Wesleyan College. My husband and I moved to Arizona this January and we are loving it here. When I'm not teaching you might find me singing, playing my guitar, reading or spending time with friends.
This year in music we will be exploring and learning about:
- Our Different Voices (singing, speaking, etc.)
- Pitch (high, low, solfege)
- Steady Beat and Rhythm
- Form (same, different, repeated)
- Expressive Qualities (dynamics, tempo, articulation)
- Performance/Attendance Etiquette (concert preparation)
We will also be learning about important composers in music history, the building blocks of music theory and preparing selections for our concerts.
There will be two concerts per year for each grade level.
Students are required to purchase a music theory workbook which is included in the Consumable Books list.
If you have any questions or comments feel free to contact me.
See you soon!
