Fourth Grade general music proceeds in the same manner as Third Grade general music.  Literature is selected to introduce and reinforce benchmarks in rhythm, melody, harmony, and style.  Students at the Fourth Grade level are ready for activities that assimilate the elements of melody, harmony and rhythm.  They are expected to talk and write about music in a more sophisticated manner than in earlier grades.  Their daily lessons build upon those of earlier grades, but are expanded in length of time per project and breadth of focus.  Also apparent in the lesson plans are increased elements of choice and opportunities for students to verbalize their developing opinions concerning style and performance.

New to the Fourth Grade student is the choir experience.  Once per week for 25 minutes, the entire Fourth Grade gathers in the music room for Fourth Grade Choir.  Here, they learn and practice correct choral discipline that leads to the joy of the choral performance. The group practices with two and three part music  in the form of rounds, partner songs, countermelodies and chordal harmonies.

In addition to the two all-school performances of the "Festival of Lights" and the "Spring Sing" the Fourth Grade Choir prepares and performs one additional concert (usually in March) during the regular school day.
