Music at Del Monte and MBH

Music at Mary Bailey House

Mary Bailey is alive with new songs this past fortnight. We have been singing up a storm with Miss Polly had a Dolly and Let’s Go Walking. Students have been enjoying using the scarves to express what they hear in the music, specifically Elephants from Carnival of the Animals. This encourages them to listen carefully, coordinate themselves with the music and think creatively how they can express the music with the scarf. 

The students have been using their rhythmic flare this week, especially when using the claves. We have also been using them to keep the beat, count the number of days in Pease Porridge Hot and for actions in Wind the Bobbin Up. 

We always finish music class with a story song. This enables students to regulate themselves after a fun class, calm down before moving to the next activity and for students to remain engaged right to the end of class. 

Music at Del Monte

Prep have been exploring music through matching colours to notes, colours to movement, and colours to make new friend groups! We dance with scarves and match colours and mix colours so that we have opportunities to meet other students and make music together. 

Year 2 had a demonstration of Taiko. Mr Hilgendorf demonstrated the big drum and welcome patterns. Students can join Taiko Club in Year 3 and 4.

Year 2 had special music fun when they had Camp at Del Monte. We used Cups to play along with some Kaboom Percussion songs.
