WELCOME TO GENERAL MUSIC!
All students learn to be tuneful, beatful and artful!
![]() Cambridge music teachers use both the Feierabend and Kodàly methods of music education when teaching. These methods develop the whole-music learner by teaching students to be tuneful (students can hear tunes in their heads and sing with expression), beatful (students can feel and keep a steady beat), and artful (students can move expressively and be moved by the emotions in music). It is a rote before note approach.
All K-5 students receive 35 minutes of general music instruction once a week. Classes include the following activities throughout the school year: -listening activities -movement activities (fine and gross motor) -vocal exploration and development -teacher-led, student-led and class-led songs and movements -song and rhythm creation -reading and writing rhythms and melodies Want to introduce your child to classical music at home?
