7th Grade General Music
7th grade general music students learn about American composers (Aaron Copland, George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein and John Williams) and American forms of music for example: work songs, spirituals, call and response songs, blues and jazz. Students also learn about blues and jazz musicians and the 12 bar blues form. The students also continue learning about opera. Each class has an opportunity to create and original opera.
This year the Boston Lyric Opera will send an artist-in-residence from the Boston Lyric Opera to work with a 7th grade class during the fourth quarter to compose, stage and perform an original opera thanks to a STARS grant.
