Music at Del Monte and MBH

At Del Monte we are developing our music analytical skills through songs and movements. Here are some of the ways we have been developing our knowledge. 

In Year 4 we can sing in Canon (like a round) while moving in concentric circles. This develops our hearing of parts within a larger group, maintaining our own part with a common sense of beat.

Year 2 composed in groups, collaborating with one another in their groups to create a movement for one particular part of the song. They perform their part at the correct time, without verbal direction, showing they are able to make sense of the music they hear.

Kindergarten children have been finding patterns in songs and jumping in and out of hoops when they hear the pattern, with longer phrases requiring walking around the hoop.
