Year 3 had the opportunity to experience an artsong music workshop from Leeds Lieder this afternoon. They learnt that Leider means artsong and understood how important music is in creating an image in your mind.

They discussed musical vocabulary pitch and dynamics.

They also practiced being conductors to change the dynamics of the piano as shown in the pictures.

Lastly, Year 3 worked together to compose a song.

This afternoon KS2 took part in a music assembly led by Will. We learnt about the different parts of a ukulele, how to strum and playing chords on a ukulele.

Will also showed us a guitar and an electric guitar.

We sang pop songs along with the ukulele and played guess the song.

Front Row Music will be offering ukulele lessons based of interest expressed. Please do express your interest using the forms sent home.

In July, some of our Year 5 and 6 pupils performed in a massed choir of Primary School children in the Leeds Youth Music Festival in Leeds Arena. It was an incredible evening celebrating music-making across the city. https://www.leedsforlearning.co.uk/Article/177431?source=Newsletter&guid=BA7F783E-7EF4-4B8A-A551-ABDEDAD07C46
