Learning Through the Elements of Music:  Learning music is a very ongoing process. Elementary children should be actively involved in music  making! Singing, Listening, Playing, Doing, and Creating are incorporated into the music curriculum.  This approach introduces students to the Elements of Music. Basic information is presented on each  element that is built upon with subsequent lessons and activities.   While you may have a unit on “Melody,” learning about melody is a never-ending process. As with  all elements, you move from simple to more complex concepts throughout the year. The lessons  provided are organized around the elements of music including: Pitch, Rhythm, Melody, Harmony,  Timbre, Dynamics, Texture. Knowledge and understanding of the elements are aligned with the  Utah Core Elementary Music Standards.  Teachers are strongly encouraged to collaborate with classroom teachers to integrate  and reinforce English Language Art, Math, Social Studies, Science and other core  contents into the music lesson. Some lessons provided are already integrated into  various core topics and others can be easily adapted.
