Year 1: Music and Computing

July 06, 2022
In Music and Computing, Year 1 have been exploring rhythms: a series of long and short sounds. 

On the iPads, they have loved using Garage Band to create their own digital tracks by exploring the different instruments. One of their favourite challenges has been coming up with different clapping rhythms on the Beat Sequencer. 

In Music, they have also been exploring different rhythms using percussion. The children loved learning the names and how to play the various instruments. They then had to compose their own rhythm patterns using frogs (1 beat) and tadpoles (2 beats).
