• Third Grade comes to music for thirty minutes two times a week between 9:50 and 10:50. In Third Grade, students sing, play instruments, listen, and dance.  We explore xylophones and drums to perform ensemble pieces.  Students will read rhythms, and begin to perform music that has more than one part.
