Hello all,
Grade 1 and 2 music carries on as normal. We are embarking on experimenting and creating music by manipulating pitch using the pentatonic scale on tuned percussion, plus singing some fun songs. Grade 2s are creating sentences related to the Learner Profile attributes, and creating melodies based around the sentences they come up with. Rhythm+pitch=melody.
Grades 3 and 4 are doing a month of intense rhythm work, learning different note durations, clapping rhythms and understanding how different note durations relate to each other. No singing, dancing or listening to music this month.
Grade 6 are working on tableaus for their exhibition (still scenes frozen in time). We recorded several pieces of music (created by the Grade 6s) before Ramadan so that we have a week to prepare properly before the exhibition which happens a week after Eid Mubarak. We are also preparing some rhythmical chants for the exhibition. More to come on this over the coming weeks. See this link for work in progress
Have a great weekend!
Pete
