MUSIC AT FOREST VIEW 
 
 
 Welcome to 
Forest View Music! Forest View students are involved in active musical learning from K through 5. We encourage every child to sing and to discover their voice. Our students use movement and singing games to develop creativity and improvisation. Forest View students learn about the mathematics of music— rhythm, melody, tempo, dynamics, form, and harmony. And they learn the language of music to read rhythm notes and other music symbols. At Forest View, our musical world expands through listening to sounds from different countries, historical eras and instruments. The music, songs and cultures we emphasize dovetail with grade level curriculum. We play our own instruments as much as possible, exploring rhythm and melody through xylophones, glockenspiels, drums, triangles, maracas, guiros, claves, cabasas, recorders and ukuleles. Forest View has recently hosted performances as diverse as the West African drumming of Braima Moiwai and the critically acclaimed string music of The Carolina Chocolate Drops.  A performance of the North Carolina Symphony is also a regular field trip for our 4th grade students. A Forest View parent recently performed with their woodwind quintet for 2nd grade students, enriching their study of sound and the instruments of the orchestra. Students also can play in ensembles, write their own songs and participate in the Forest View Chorus and the Instrument Club.http://www.forestview.dpsnc.net/student0607/braima/braima.htmlhttp://www.forestview.dpsnc.net/student0607/chocodrops/chocodrops.htmlshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1
