Room 1

Play the rhythm of your bar of Flying Man at the correct time. When we know the rhythm well we will begin to learn the melody and prepare to play as an arrangement.


Room 7

To begin learning our Orff arrangement we have been singing a song in which we take turns showing an action for 4 bars of 4 beats for the class to copy. This will turn into improvising a rhythm, using body percussion then instruments, for 4 bars of 4 beats to prepare for solos during the arrangement on tuned and untuned percussion.
