Year 4 performed an ABBA song this afternoon! So much fun was had by all the children. They then went on to accompany the song with the glockenspiels.
They really tried hard to keep the beat going and keep in time. We found it a real challenge to play the instruments, keep the beat and sing! See what you think.
Today, Robins enjoyed listening to rap music!
As soon as the song began, lots of children couldn’t resist moving to the beat!
They listened to and appraised “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air” and discussed the instruments they could hear within the composition (bass guitar, drums, keyboard and tambourine).
About half the class really liked the song, recognising it from the television programme entitled the same and all joined in, trying to rap along in time with the words.
Robins listened and appraised a song by Bob Marley today, called “Three Little Birds.” They learnt this genre was reggae music and discussed which instruments they thought were used too. They looked at the structure of the song and couldn’t resist singing along and moving to the beat!
The majority of the class enjoyed listening to this piece of music and singing along too!
During their guitar lessons with Mr Gill, Robins class started to learn how to read guitar tablature. They are also learning to play La Bamba.
Over the last few weeks Robins have had some great guitar lessons with Mr Gill they have learned a salsa and a police siren piece.
They are now working their way up the fret board and extending their Spanish piece.
