5th Grade

Resources for Students

Dear Parents and Students,

Mrs. Myers and Mrs. Waltz would like to welcome you to the PCK Online Music Class! All of the links below are from the Core Knowledge Curriculum and feature pieces by famous composers and traditional/folk songs to learn. We are currently finishing our composing unit (see Google Classroom). Parents please have your student login to Noteflight and play you their pieces, they are seriously amazing!

We were just going to start our Famous Composers and Core Knowledge Songs unit when we learned we'd be doing remote learning. These links are intended to be used at their leisure, after their core subjects are finished for the day. These should be fun activities for them. Additionally there will be a weekly question and assignment on Google Classroom that we'd love for them to participate in. Further down the posted list we have some Musical Boredom Busters (online music games) if your kiddo feels so inclined!
