The General Music ExperiencesIn General Music students are actively participating in the music making process. The students use their most important instruments, their voices to sing. Singing is accompanied by playing insturments, movement, dance, speech concepts and just making music. Students are taught many elements of music through rhythms, timbres, form, and texutres of music. The students' skills are developed through their participation in many kinds of music through listening, performing, studying composers, creating their own music or reading a musical score. At Ocee Elementary we place emphasis on learning and having lots of fun while doing it.
