Music with Emily 

Term 4, 2024

In music, students have been working towards our upcoming music performance called

Play & Sing

 

Prep/1 students have had so much fun bringing the book A lion in the night by Pamela Allen to life with sound effects and storytelling performance skills.

 

1/2 students will demonstrate new xylophone skills, including bouncing and clicking the mallets, with a piece called Click Sticks.

 

The 3/4 class have been learning bass lines, harmony lines and rhythmic ostinatos on the xylophone instruments and will accompany the P-2 students with an exciting performance of The Annual Thing.

 

The 4/5 class have been learning to play ukuleles and percussion instruments and will strum and beat along to a special collaborative performance of Antigravity.

 

Students in 5/6 will also be performing in Antigravity on xylophones, piano, and some wind instruments. This piece has lyrics composed by students and a melody line that is guaranteed to be floating around in your head for days to come!

 

The whole school has been learning the actions and words to Dum dum ditty ditty and are preparing to wow you with their coordination and collaboration.

We are all looking forward to some productive rehearsals over the next two weeks and then sharing with families what we have been doing in the music room.

 

Choir

Choir is open for all students who share a love of singing and making music with others. Each Tuesday, during the lunchtime break, we meet in the Music room.  All new and interested members are welcome. Come along for a sing-a-long! 

 

Plans for a couple of shows at LVCC Kindergarten and Kiewa Valley House are in the works for this term.
