Year 6 Music: Elements of Hip Hop

October 09, 2017

This half term, Year 6 have been studying elements of hip hop music. All of the children have learned how to read music on a stave, investigating different notes and the duration of each note. After some practise, they did a great job of reading a piece of music to play on the glockenspiel. The result was brilliant and the children were, rightly, extremely proud of themselves. They have built their confidence and they are now looking forward to their next piece: the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
