We listened to the music and discussed what we liked and disliked about the song. We discussed the repeated sections and how the some parts were quicker than others.

We used percussion instruments to create the repeated elements of the track.

Lesson 2 - Dancing Queen

We were working in groups of 2,3, and 4s to create our own music to Dancing Queen. We used the percussion instruments to help us, our groups we had agency over which instruments we used. by Luna and Lucas

Lesson 3 - structure

Pulse - we recapped what the pulse was of our focus song "Mamma Mia". We made sure that we changed the speed to match the verse, bridge and chorus.

Using a range of percussion instruments we practiced our group performance.

Singing

We focused on our breathing techniques. We placed our hands on our body where our diaphragm would be, it is this muscle that helps us when breathing.

We projected our voices to make it louder.

Pulse

We used our new Charanga programme to help us identify the pulse.

Today we used the egg shakers to help us perform the pulse while singing.

The quicker the shaking of the egg, the quicker the pulse.
