Lincoln Grade School have been tremendously interested in musi&-
We believed that music education should be an integral part of
any well rounded school program, so we have worked constantly ;
and under many trying difficulties to reach our goal of "satisfyiné
musical experiences for every child in our school",
Four years ago we were fortunate in securing the services
of a splendid music teacher who comes to us one day each week for>
School musie, and one day for individual instruction. We have a
four teacher school without an auditorium so the work is organized
a8 a unit in each room.
St
We begin in the first and Second grades by teaching tone
matching, simple rhythmic dances, song drills, song games and
notes of treble clef,

for these grades,
In the third and fourth grades we have g splendid rhythm
Jingle
0gs, cymbals, tambourines and sticks., This group also has a
newly organized flute orchestra of twenty-four members. These
grades also study the fundamental mechanics of music such as
I'eading notes, making and recognizing the seven kinds of notes
and rests, and recognizing time signatures snd kKeys on the
#lano.
ihe fifth and sixth grades continue drill on material
