Scratch Soundtrack
Today the children built on their skills using Scratch. We started by discussing different genres and the type of music associated with them. We then created our own soundtracks, adjusting the tempo and the notes used.
Glockenspiel Compositions
This afternoon, the children continued their music topic on composition inspired by nature. Today we created our own melodies inspired by Dark and stormy clouds.
