This morning 3H had a fantastic music lesson where they learnt all about tempo, pitch as well as ostinatos and began to read notation.

They explored tempo and pitch by singing a song and then varying the tempo and pitch. They were able to notice what had changed and how. ‘The tempo was faster.’ ‘The pitch was higher.’ From this, they were also able to internalise the song. We added actions and began to take certain words out. By the end we had internalised the song so we didn’t sing anything out loud- only the actions!

They learnt that ostinato means something that repeats over and over again. They created a word ostinato and we performed it as a round.

These videos show them exploring pitch and tempo. As well as, reading notation. They had a fantastic time with Mrs Cossavella.
