In our music lessons this half term we are learning all about tempo and dynamics. We began by answering the question how does music make the world a better place and had a great discussion, here are some of their answers ...

” It makes me feel happy and wonderful inside” Nathaniel

” it’s relaxing” Leah

” It makes me happy and calm” Maddison

” I dance to music” Olivia 

“My Nanny plays it and it always makes me happy” James

“Happy” Wilf

”because we have music it gives people something to do” Abigail

We talked about when music is played how it brings people together and affects us all in different ways.

Then we were: finding and keeping a steady beat, copying simple rhythmic patterns that were long and short and singing simple melodic patterns using high and low sounds.

Then we started to learn the song ‘If you’re happy and you know it’. 

We love music lessons!
