Swallow class

Lesson 1 - Digital music

Swallow class listened to and compared music from The Planets by Gustav Holst. They used a musical description word bank to describe how this music generated emotions.

Below we have some fantastic work displayed!

Aleks: "I liked when I listened to Venus!"

Nikolai: "I enjoyed the music because there was lots of different sounds".

Lesson 2 - Rhythms and patterns

Today in computing, Swallow class were introduced to the a fantastic software called Chrome Music Lab where they created a musical pattern. They identified that music is a sequence of notes and explained how music can be played in different ways.
