M1.1 demonstrate an awareness of personal interests and a sense of accomplishment in music (e.g., contribute their own ideas to a class song; create their own accompaniment to a song)

M1.2 explore a variety of tools and materials of their own choice (e.g., spoons, castanets, rhythm sticks, music software) to create music in familiar and new ways
