At this level the students become quite dexterous on the recorder, learning several classical pieces and longer folk and popular pieces by the end of the year. Singing is improved through vocal exercises and solo work. Music theory is expanded to include two sharps and two flats, they learn several new scales and rhythms. Music history is expanded to include several famous composers. The students receive a binder with many different sections that fill up by the end of the year. Composition in question and answer form and in sequence is begun. Lots of part-work, music terms and signs, and more complicated ostinatos are used in this final level of the MUSICAL RAINBOW!
