Music with Emily 

Term 4 Timetable

In music students have been working towards our upcoming music performance.

Prep/1 students have started to learn the notes on the xylophones and how to use a mallet correctly and will play 99 O’clock to show these new skills.

1/2 students will also demonstrate new xylophone skills, including rolling the mallets, with a piece called I Wanna CCC.

The 2/3 class have been learning and putting together drumming rhythms, air violin tunes, singing and a marimba melody to play a piece called Gina.

Year 4 students are continuing to improve their chord progressions and rhythm skills and will showcase two pieces on the ukulele- Black Socks and Scooby Dooby Doo.

Students from both 5/6 classes have composed lyrics for a piece titled I Wonder. This piece includes a very recognisable bassline (Pachelbel’s Canon) played on xylophones and ukuleles, a harmony line on metallophones, a tricky melodic line played on glockenspiels and voices singing 5 of the student compositions.

The whole school have also been learning the words and music for an ambitious whole school collaboration. We will showcase Scooby Dooby Doo with all 125 students singing or playing together. It may still be a work in progress by the 15th of November but we’ll share it with all the workings on display at the music performance and hopefully bring it together again in the final weeks of Term 4.

Looking forward to some productive rehearsals with the students over the next few weeks and sharing with families what they have been learning in Week 7.
