This week in Music, the R/1 students began learning about high and low pitch. Students played the game ‘Giraffes and Ants’ to help them visualise the difference between high and low. When the music sounded high, students reached to the sky like a tall giraffe and when the music sounded low, they would get down low to the ground like a tiny ant! As you can see, R/1MC and R/1GC had lots of fun learning about pitch!

Students also started learning how to play the Chime Bars as they sang the song “A Sailor went to Sea Sea Sea”. Whenever they sang the word “Sea” they had to find and play the highest and lowest ‘C’ on their Chime Bar…

A sailor went to sea sea sea,

To see what he could sea sea sea,

But all that he could sea sea sea,

Was the bottom of the deep blue sea sea sea!
