Third Grade General Music proceeds in the same manner as Second Grade General Music. Literature is selected to introduce and reinforce benchmarks in rhythm, melody, harmony, and style. A new element is introduced at this grade level to strengthen skills in music literacy and improvisation. All third grade students are offered the opportunity to learn the recorder.
Each student is either assigned a recorder belonging to the school or purchases his or her own personal instrument. Every Third Grade student is given the opportunity to learn "beginner" to "intermediate" recorder skills.
As in the earlier grades, students in Third Grade are responsible for performing in the two all-school concerts in the year: the December "Festival of Lights" and the June "Spring Sing".
