T.I.M.E (Music)

Classroom Music with Eddie

Term One has started with work around the deadly behaviours, students learning a welcome song, sharing their ideas on how to be deadly with one another, and showing off a silly dance to introduce themselves. This term will be filled with musical knowledge as we learn about the building blocks of music theory. As we go through the list, students will experience the separate elements of music with related instrumentation, dance, and drama activities.
