Grade PreK Music

What Your Child Will Learn

At all levels, music education in Howard County focuses around these three artistic processes:

Performing: Realizing artistic ideas and work through individual or ensemble performance or presentation.
Creating: Conceiving and developing artistic ideas through music making while connecting to historical, contextual, and personal events.
Responding: Synthesis of meaning, context, and process through interaction with, and connection to the musical world.

Musical concepts are carefully sequenced through kinesthetic, aural, and visual experiences. The student's singing voice is the primary instrument and developed throughout the elementary general music curriculum.

Our Pre-K students will experience music and explore their musical voice through rhythm, pitch, form, reading, sounds (both instrumental and environmental), dynamics, tempo, texture, movement, and aesthetics. Curricular objectives focus on creating, performing and responding, so that our youngest musicians are introduced to music education through play and exploration that directly correlates to the national, state, and county standards for music.
