Music at Del Monte and MBH (Curriculum)

At Del Monte we have a special group of string students who accompany the school in Assemblies, Mass and Liturgies. They learn to play as an ensemble, listening to one another. They must also accompany the singing, which is a tricky skill to master – not too fast, not too slow, keeping pace with the hymn or song. We are really proud of them.

Year 1 have been using untuned percussion with their songs and actions. A particular favourite is Highway Number 1, singing about traveling around Australia. We dance and follow the actions of the song as well as using the untuned percussion instruments.

The parachute is a great way of teaching about fast and slow, high pitch and low pitch. Many different classes at Del Monte have enjoyed this tool in their music classes.

Recitals are held over in the high school in Holyrood each term. We have many students from Del Monte who join in these recitals. It gives the students an aim in their practice, and prepares them for performing in a really gentle, supportive way.
