This Term in music class the grade 3/4 students have been focusing on the musical element of Timbre. They have explored sounds when composing on computers by creating pieces that reflect concepts of “water” and “fire”. They have also brought in containers from home and experimented with rice and other materials to made percussions instruments. They have documented the effect that different materials have on the sounds of these instruments and presented their findings in a comparison chart.

This term in music class the grade 5/6 students have learnt about diatonic chords (chords made form the notes of a particular key). We have looked at common pop chord progressions and learnt chords I through to VI in the major key of C. We have practiced these chords on the guitar and the piano and began composing pieces of music using these chords. This can be a very difficult concept to understand, but the grade 5/6 students fully embraced the challenge and made great progress!
