Chris James Visit
On Thursday 9 November Taupaki School was very lucky to have a visit from Chris James as part of his Vocal Adventure for Schools to teach us that "everyone is born with a beautiful voice". It was a fun and energetic morning for both students and teachers.
Go Miss Parker...invited up to lead the actions!
Room 1: Copy the Dance
Room 1 love to start their Music session with a quick dance warmup. This week they had some of Room 3 with them to show how they had been learning about dancing in their own space and moving their arms and legs like the programme we follow...it was quite tricky to keep up but everyone did a great job.
Room 6: Learning Solfege with Handbells
We have been learning that pitches can be identified by their position in the solfege scale. Solfege is a system for singing notes. If you’re familiar with the famous Rogers and Hammerstein song “Do-Re-Mi” from The Sound of Music, you already know the solfege note names: do, re, mi, fa, so, la and ti.
We have been using the handbells to help us with this. We have some simple melodies to play and the notes are coloured the same as the handbell that represents the note. This week we enjoyed playing Pachelbel's Canon with groups rotating.
