Artsong workshop

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.

The children are giving a setting description and the pianist is using music to create that image

They discussed musical vocabulary pitch and dynamics.

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

Performing the song they learned

Lastly, Year 3 worked together to create a song. Here it is!

Chime Bars

This half term, year 3 have been exploring pitch with chime bars. We have been listening to and appreciating music and noticing where the pitch gets higher and where the pitch gets lower. We have learnt how to hold a beater and use the chime bars. We are learning to play along with the song ‘elevator’ and ‘once a man fell in a well’.
