In music this week, Year 2 have really enjoyed learning the song ‘Music Man’.

We begun by appraising our piece of music. The music made us feel happy and we all wanted to smile. We could hear lots of instruments including guitars, pianos, drums and saxophones. We were not sure what a saxophone was to start with but we discovered this together and loved the sounds it made. We knew a saxophone was played because it sang it in the song.

We sang the song, following the words on the screen. We loved this song and we could hear the beat really. Lots of us were tapping the table with our hands and tapping our feet on the floor the first time we sung.

We were able to improvise playing musical instruments to the song as we sang. We played a saxophone, a trombone and a drum as well as others.

Once we knew the song well we became composers. We used the notes we know on the glockenspiel to create our own composition based on ‘Music Man’.

We decided on a 4 note composition that complemented the music we listened to then we got to play it to the music.

We performed our 4 notes to the class and we loved being performers.
