Music at Del Monte
Music at Mary Bailey House
At Mary Bailey House, the year has started with some very excited students! We have a lot of new students that have moved into the Treefrogs room and it is lovely to see their smiley faces every Monday and Friday morning.
Not only do we sing and move in music classes, various skills are developed such as group participation, listening skills, expressing emotions and improving balance and coordination. Research has shown that musical training can help children develop important cognitive skills. Skills such as memory, attention, and spatial reasoning. Additionally, movement activities such as dancing can help to develop their spatial awareness.
Some songs we are singing in class are Ten Fat Sausages, Going on a Bear Hunt and Five Cupcakes in the Bakers Shop, with many more to come!
Music at Del Monte
Prep students have been exploring percussion instruments and the many different shapes and sizes and sounds they make. They were able to try out a selection of instruments and make loud or soft sounds.
Our oldest students in Year 4 are learning singing items for the Gala Concert. This involves looking at other languages and styles of music, which is challenging but fun!
