Science in music

By Mrs E WILKINSON20th October 2021

Year 4 were very lucky to have been visited by students from the Hull University Music department.  In collaboration with the Hull Music Hub, they delivered a workshop to our the children about sound and music. It was a fabulous end to their science topic about sound, and an excellent opportunity to use their knowledge to discover and investigate how science can be applied to real life, everyday things. The children were able to apply their understanding of sound to work out how each of the instruments worked and why they were making the different pitches. It was also an incredible opportunity for the children to see some real live musicians up close and have a play with the instruments.

 

 

 

 

Year 4 Music

By Mrs E WILKINSON20th October 2021

Year 4 have been busy appraising music and learning new songs on the glockenspiel.

In celebration of black history month, we listened to and appraised ‘What a wonderful world’ by the black artist Louis Armstrong. We spoke a little about his history and when he wrote the song. We also discussed what it might have meant to music and black people back in the 60s.

There were mixed reviews, but the children are getting better at really listening to the music and talking about how as song is it made up.

 

The children then started learning a new song on the Glockenspiel, I wonder if you can tell which song it is from the video clip?
