Music News

For the first part of term, Grade 5/6 students have been busy building their own instruments from recycled or reusable materials. After learning about children from Paraguay who play instruments made from trash in a town where a violin is worth more than a house, they got busy bringing their own musical inventions to life. They then composed music together and performed their rhythmic pieces to their Foundation buddies. Although we learnt lots of valuable skills and information about composition, rhythmic notation, ensemble performances and dynamics, perhaps the most valuable lesson was learning to be grateful for all that we have in Australia.
