4th Grade End of the Year Project
For their end of year project, each class of 4th Graders collaborated to change the home note of a melody to change the mood of a piece. Then they worked to create accompaniments in the form of borduns, ostinati, and color parts. They made the style and feel of their music match a seasonal poem by Douglas Florian. They created seasonal artwork in the form of miniature forests made of paper.
