1. Kindergarten through 8 th grade…the rules are the same at any age! 1. LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE MUSIC! 2. SING YOUR BEST WHETHER YOU SING ALONE OR WITH OTHERS! 3. RESPECT OTHERS IN THE CLASSROOM ! 4. FOCUS ON LEARNING ABOUT MUSIC! 5. WAIT YOUR TURN TO PLAY AND INSTRUMENT OR SING A SOLO!

2. Are you an active or passive listener when music is playing in music class, at home? Do you feel the rhythm? Do you feel the beat? Can you analyze the form? Can you recognize the style of music?

3. Are you comfortable with your voice? Can you sing on pitch alone and with others? Can you harmonize your voice with others? YOU CAN SING!

4. One person can talk after they are called on. Calling out is not a sign of respect! Being nice to everyone in the class shows Respect ! Respect the music equipment and books by not writing in any music book in the music room! God wants use to treat others the same way we expect others to treat us. We are to be stewards to each other and to the world around us! RESPECT!

5. Learning about composers, reading music, understanding instruments sounds and recognizing the sounds and styles of music. Music is a “international language” that can be understood by all! If you can read music in America, you can read music in every land. It is made up of symbols, keys, tempos, meters, and signs. Once you can read the signs, you can read the music! Music has styles and every style can be understood and appreciated. Music reaches deep within to be enjoyed by all!

6. Your talent is a gift from God…what you do with that talent is your Gift back to HIM! Whether you play an instrument at solo time…. Love to sing a solo in front of the class…..
