Hi All,
This is the link to our listening piece of music for this week:
Pokemon Theme – Kaboom Percussion
Kat and Josh are from Perth, Western Australia, and formed Kaboom Percussion in 2014. They have recorded many song covers and original songs that can be found on YouTube, using ‘proper’ percussion instruments as well as Body Percussion, cups, sticks, PET bottles, etc…
This is a link to the ‘bloopers’ which shows some of the issues that occurred…
Pokemon Theme Bloopers
Reception students have been doing pitch, beat and rhythm activities with the Nursery Rhymes they have been learning in class. Over the past few weeks, they have been learning to sing the rhymes using different dynamics (forte – loud and piano – soft) and tempo (allegro – fast & lively and adagio – slow).
Year 1 & 2 students have been learning the song Sarasponda which has a stick routine to do while they sing. They have also been learning to sing the song using different dynamics (forte – loud and piano – soft) and tempo (allegro – fast & lively and adagio – slow).
This is the link to a routine that is almost the same as what they have been learning:
Sarasponda
Year 3-4/5 students have started learning about the musical alphabet (ABCDEFG) and singing the words they create using the correct pitch. They are learning the song Cabbage Cafe to help with this.
Year 5/6-6/7 students have started learning a stick percussion piece written by Kaboom Percussion – Double Trouble . They are learning the different techniques and patterns in the song which they will rehearse and perform in groups of 4-6. A link to a performance of the song is in Google Classroom.
