Kindergarten

Singing: Term 1
Overview and Rationale:
Through this singing program, students will develop a repertoire of fifteen songs. When learning
these songs students will learn about rhythm, keeping in time, singing a note and singing in parts.
These singing sessions will also be a time for students to practice being an audience, listening to a
presenter and taking part in large group activities.
