Performing Arts & Music

The Foundation, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students have enjoyed learning all about the dynamics of music. They have been practising how to play instruments loudly (forte) and softly (piano) through a number of different activities. They have also been learning through moving and singing in these measures. 

I had some wonderful volunteers singing different songs to the class ‘piano’ (quietly) and some ‘forte’ (loudly). I was very proud of these students who confidently performed to the class on their own.

Well done performers!
