This past week Boswell music students have been analyzing patriotic music, singing favorites such as our national anthem (The Star-Spangled Banner) and "America" (My Country 'Tis of Thee). 4th grade even played along with some patriotic music. We have also been discussing the story behind the lyrics, our flag, and the rich history of our nation that occurred 200 years ago!
5th grade students came up with a list of criteria for determining what a "good performance" of the national anthem is and we listened to nearly 8 performances for comparison!
I really enjoyed their criteria and listening to them support their answers with musical terminology!
