We have been learning about Samba music from the South America this term.
Students have been playing different rhythms on samba instruments. We have used Surdos (big drums) Tambarims (small drums) A-Go-Go bells and Gansas (shakers). Students have been working on following a conductor, different sections in the music and ostinato rhythms (repeated rhythms).
Today in music Reception we’re being musicians. We listened to’ABC by The Jackson 5’ we had to decide how it made us feel and what images came to mind while listening to the music.
Ayla said “she felt relaxed and saw her mum and dad”.
Jacob said” he felt silly and thought of a holiday “.
We listened to ‘five little monkeys’ in the style of rap. We sang and danced to this.
We learn how to play the pbone with Mr Bell every Tuesday. This week we learned how to accompany ‘The Eye of the Tiger’ using notes D and Bflat. We also had a fun competition to see who could play the longest note. Next week we are going to learn some new notes.
