• Second Grade comes to music for thirty minutes two times a week between 2:20-3:20. In Second Grade, students concentrate on using their singing voice to make music.  We explore some of the classroom instruments (drums, triangles, xylophones, rhythms sticks.) We will begin to read simple melodies on the xylophones.  Ask your student to share a song with you!
