The second grade music program focuses predominantly on rhythm. The course includes a thorough treatment of time signatures, measure subdivision, and all aspects of rhythmic figures (names, values, parts, how to draw them, and their respective rests). At the end of the course, students should be able to recognize figures up to the 64th note, and complete rhythmic dictations with half-notes, whole-notes, quarter-notes, eighth-notes and their respective rests. Rhythm is also taught using body percussion exercises and the playing of classroom percussion instruments.
