Learning to play together is a tricky thing. A special group of string players are learning to perform all the songs and the parts of the Mass for our Del Monte family to sing along to at Mass. These string players must practice their own parts, and then be able to rehearse them together, while keeping up with the singing. Their playing at Mass on Thursday was truly a wonderful achievement. This was the first time that these students have performed together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prep students are learning about loud and soft. We had a special ‘conductor\u2019s’ game which involves every student playing an instrument either loudly or softly depending on the conductor in the hula hoop. They must watch the conductor and moderate their music playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year 2 are discerning the difference between rhythm and beat. Beat players keep a steady beat on the drum while rhythm players perform on claves. They sing class songs as they play their instruments. They also have been singing and dancing, which is a fun way of exploring the concepts of music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
