Music with Mr Sutherland
In Music, the students started the new term with a performance of their original compositions on the glockenspiel. During the previous term, the students began by creating 4-beat rhythm responses to a known song, then adding pitch and notating their compositions on staff notation. During the performance, each student played a 4-beat melody they had composed to complete the last two bars of a known song. The students were accompanied by their classmates, who sang the song.
The compositions were differentiated by year groups, with higher year levels working with more complex tone sets such as the pentatonic scale.
It was fantastic to see the students' hard work and dedication pay off. Composing music can be a challenging process, but they rose to the occasion and produced impressive results. The performance was a testament to the students' musical talents and dedication. Overall, it was a great start to the new term, and we are excited to see what other musical achievements the students will accomplish in the future.
