Preforming Arts
PERFORMING ARTS in Prep - Ms Alexandra Beamont This term the students will focus on learning how to use their singing voices. They will learn a number of songs based around 3 note melodies (soh/lah/me). With support they will begin to try to play the taught songs on the melodic percussion instruments. The students will pursue their understanding of beat and rhythm. Dancing will continue to be a regular part of the program where students will get to explore different types of movement activities.
