As Musicians this term, the children in Year 4 are following the musical line of enguiry of writing music. Using the letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G, our first lesson comprised of creating a list of words before playing their composed musical notation on the glockenspiels.  We drew upon our prior knowledge of learning of pitch and played the words we had created on different keys before deciding which we liked best.

Here are a few of our first compositions….

We then played and practised our words with a partner and gave constructive feedback to one another…

 

Some children then volunteered to play a solo of their favourite compositions…
