Fourth grade classes continue to practice singing in harmony with rounds. Ms. Moriarty's class demonstrates singing "Black Socks" in unison as well as a four part round.
The third graders have been practicing singing songs in a round. Singing in a round involves singing in teams. Each team sings the same song beginning at different times. At first rounds can sound more like noise than music to students, but as their ears and brains become used to hearing rounds they will begin to hear the beautiful music that they create.
Here is Ms. Jakolowlew's class performing "Rum Sum Sum" in unison. By using familiar words that also begin with "uni" (unicorn, unified, unicycle) we discovered that unison means to sing together as one group.

Third grade classes also practiced sing "Rum Sum Sum" as a round in two, three and four parts.
