Year 2: Music

March 28, 2022

Year 2 have been looking at 'Zootime' in Music this half term. 

They have looked at the features of Reggae music and have learnt to sing the song to performance standard. The children have recently moved onto using glockenspiels to accompany the song and have learnt about composition. 
When an original piece of music is written, this is referred to as music composing. This can refer to both vocal or instrumental music.
The children have used their knowledge of Reggae music (slow and steady using repeated patterns/ melodies) to compose their own accompaniment and trialed it out using the glockenspiels.
Well done, Year 2!
