Summer 

Children in year 6 have continued looking at 'composition' and used a programme called incredibox. They have discussed how songs are structured and how sounds are layered. In music this is called texture. They have used this programme to compose their own song and tried to include and introduction, a middle 8 and an ending. They have really enjoyed it.

Also the children have been choosing songs for their leavers assembly and practising singing these.

We have used loops to create different sounds and effects.

Year 6 have been learning the cornet this term. We have played together as an ensemble and been reading the notation.

We have also learnt about tonality and why some music sounds happy and some sad and have learnt an A Minor chord on the ukulele. We also enjoyed using a composition sequencing programme called Incredibox where we created our own piece of music.

Have a listen!
