Year 1 percussion ensemble

Year 1 students just started their percussion ensemble work. This is a very important part of the music curriculum, where we address three content areas: performing, creating and notation. Together as a group we compose a simple pattern in four beats, then using graphic notation we record our work. Then children practice their performance. Parents can help by asking their children to explain the meaning of each element on the music sheet. Ask your child to show what he/she is playing. We are planning to present the result of this work in an assembly.
