Music at Del Monte and MBH

At Mary Bailey House, we are starting to incorporate letter writing and recognition into our songs. This helps with fine motor skills that can be transferred to pencil and paper.

Students have also been learning the welcome song Warami Mittigar Gurrumburuck that was written for Santa Sabina College in the Dharug language. Throughout the College, we sing this for various Masses and gatherings and in Music classes we use this as our welcome song to class.

At Del Monte we are being composers, performers and listeners.

In Year 4 we have started composing our own arrangements of Rocky Mountain, using movement to guide our ostinati (repeated patterns). We have to collaborate and share ideas.

Kindergarten are applying their knowledge of two-note melodies on the xylophone to see which is a high or low pitch. We also love our listening dances where we use the hula hoops and get to move around.

It is great to see our Del Monte students taking the opportunity to perform in the Friday Recitals at Holyrood.
