There are 6 main PRISMS™ Content Areas
Percussion
Children learn the names of small percussion instruments and how to play them correctly. They copy and create different rhythms and explore sound as it relates to music.
Rhythm
Rhythm chants help develop a sense of beat, promote language acquisition, and increase vocabulary. Chants that include movement instructions reinforce the musical concept of the unit.
Instruments
Colorful images and engaging text introduce children to instruments and ensembles from of the world. Children compare and contrast instruments and cultures as they explore world music.
Songs
Children’s songs from around the world support the monthly topic with an array of melodies and rhythms. Songs are sung in a range suitable for children’s voices. Ideas for expanding or improvising songs are provided.
Movement
Carefully chosen movement songs, from award winning children’s musicians, teach about rhythm, beat, tempo, and more. Movement is an ideal way to reinforce musical concepts!
Symbols
The meanings of common musical symbols and terms are presented and explored through hands-on demonstrations and activities. Children discover these in the sheet music provided for every song.
