Music

• The 7-year-old student has learned about rhythm by understanding the patterns of notes and beats in music.
• They have grasped the concept of legato and staccato by distinguishing between smooth, connected notes and short, detached notes.
• The student has learned about tempo by differentiating between presto (fast) and largo (slow) rhythms.
• They have developed an understanding of dynamics, including forte (loud) and piano (soft) dynamics in music.

For continued development, encourage the student to practice playing or clapping musical rhythms and experimenting with different tempos. Additionally, they can further explore different musical dynamics by using their voices to sing loudly and softly.
