This half term the children in Year 6 have been listening to Jazz music. The children have been really enjoying composing their own pieces to play along to their unit song.
Year 6’s music theme this term is ‘Music and Me’. This unit of work is all about identity. The children are working in small groups to compose their own piece of music all about identity. Some of our groups are singing; some are rapping! I can’t wait to hear the finished pieces.
We hope you enjoy our performance.
Over the past 2 weeks the children have been learning how to read, write and play different musical notes. So far they have looked at crotchets, quavers, rests, minims and semibreves.
Year 6 have been playing the glockenspiels this afternoon! They started the lesson with a few warm up activities, including listening to ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy’, finding the pulse of the music and singing before learning to play Happy on the glockenspiels.
Year 6 are currently learning to read musical notation and play a simple tune on the glockenspiel. Currently we are trying to play the Classroom Jazz.
Year 6 have been continuing to learn their song ‘Happy’. The children split themselves into lead vocals and second vocals to really improve the performance of the song.
After a second lesson of learning the song, it was then time for the children to learn how to play music to the beat. The children were true experts at using the glockenspiels in time with the music.
