This Kindegarten music curriculum covers everything required in nearly every music curriculum issued by state and national governments.
It is stuctured into four UNITS to cover the four content areas of the curriculum: SKILLS, SING & PLAY, COMPOSE and CONNECT.
Each element in the Kindergarten Music Curriculum:
In this grade students will begin with quick, easy SKILLS warmup activities, like echo clapping, echo singing and listening games.
The students will get their first exposure to the elements of music through these experiences of music.
If you’re an experienced teacher, you can teach these activities yourself, with the framework and guides setup showing the progression.
If you’re not experienced, then you can use our included tutorial videos and recorded tracks. You don’t even have to sing!
Echo Clapping
In the echo clapping activities in this grade students are very gently building up their beat and rhythm skills.
If teachers don’t have experience, they can use the included prerecorded track, and can echo along with the children.
If teachers are experienced in music they can use the structure and framework of the program and build on it as they work on the students’ rhythm skills.
Echo Singing
Singing is important in any music instruction. In the echo singing activities in this grade students will sing, perhaps for the very first time!
If you’re teaching this and you’re not a music teacher – it does not matter if you can’t sing! This program includes all tracks prerecorded, that you can echo with your class.
If you’re teaching this and your are a an experienced music teacher, you can use our sheet music examples and included backing tracks.
Listening Games
One of the most important areas to build up in early music instruction are listening skills.
In this kindergarten music curriculum we build up listening skills through our regular music listening games.
Students will listen to a 1-2 minute music example, without knowing the piece’s title. They will then use their imagination to describe and discuss the piece before learning more about it.
The Fun Music Company SING & PLAY unit for this grade contains four fun folk songs, chosen especially for this age group. These songs are selected to meet the needs of the curriculum, while also being enjoyable and engaging for children.
Each piece has both singing and playing elements, and is presented over either two or three of our lessons. We begin with the fun children’s song Cows in the kitchen, then we learn the classic French round Frere Jaques, before learning the native American song Wee Hee Nah and the fun action song A sailor went to sea.
There are videos showing each step of the process, from the introduction to the song through to playing as a classroom ensemble.
In the COMPOSE unit of this grade children will explore the elements of music for the first time, and learn to manipulate them to create their own compositions.
We begin with experiencing sound and silence, beat, dynamics and pitch, and then create sequences of events which become their own compositions.
In the CONNECT unit of this grade students will learn to listen with intention to music from a variety of styles.
Students will complete a simple worksheet in each lesson with a drawing task related to the music they have heard.
To meet the Australian curriculum requirement, music of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples is included at Lesson 10.
