Music

This term in music we have been learning about different musical concepts. Last week we focused on beat and rhythm. We learnt that a beat never changes, it always stays the same. Sometimes it can be fast and sometimes it can be slow. We also learnt about rhythms and worked with a friend to create a rhythm for each other.
This week in music we are learning about pitch and tempo. Today we learnt that a high pitch means it is has high notes, and a low pitch means that it has low notes. We also started to look at tempo. Tempo relates to the speed of a song. We listened to a few different songs and had a go at moving to the music. When we heard slow songs we needed to make sure we used slow movements. We we heard fast songs we needed to make sure we used fast movements. It was a great way for all of us to explore the concepts of music.
