Read Reggae by Steve Barrow
This book will complement our studies of Reggae music in the Year 9 curriculum. It is available in the school library for borrowing by all pupils.
Listen
Listen to a podcast on BBC Sounds about the history of Samba. You can also listen to a variety of Samba styles on YouTube - including Samba Funk, Bossa Nova and Samba Reggae.
Watch
Watch the documentary 'When Bob Marley came to Britain' to deepen your understanding of the influence he had on popular music.
Watch Star Wars (John Williams) or Beetlejuice (Danny Elfman)
Research
Research the work of Film Composers John Williams or Danny Elfman in more detail by listening to different film scores and researching their lives.
Visit
Visit the Walker Art Gallery for an afternoon. As you walk around, imagine the music that would be composed to match these paintings (and listen to Pictures at an Exhibition if you can!).
Visit Eventbrite for all of the free music events in Liverpool and book yourself and your friends into one.
Creative
Write a song about Summer - use an existing chord sequence that you can find on YouTube and write the melody / lyrics yourself.
