Music at Del Monte and MBH (Curriculum)

Our Arts Action Team was introduced to the Del Monte community at the Music Assembly on Thursday. The Arts Leader Ophelia led us in prayer.

In class we have been focusing on showing our pitch with our hand signs. We can sing in Solfa and use the hand signs with our partners.  Another fun activity to show pitch has been using balls to throw high and low.

Year 3 have looked at brass and woodwind instruments. They were able to see a trombone in action, and to handle a clarinet.

At the Week 7 Music-led Del Monte Assembly, the combined Year 3 and 4 String Ensembles delivered an impressive performance, with 58 students coming together on stage. The ensemble performed First Finger Pachelbel, a piece inspired by Pachelbel’s original work, which gradually builds in intensity and rhythmic complexity. The hall buzzed with excitement – and a few nervous smiles – as several students took to the stage for their very first performance, making the moment all the more special for performers and audience alike.
