Primary 5 and 6\u00a0were treated to another great session with Pitch, Pulse and Magic today.\u00a0 The Spencer Strachan duo performed a range\u00a0of\u00a0classical pieces on the violin and cello.\u00a0 The children\u00a0were asked to\u00a0identify the tempo and the musical concepts in a selection of famous pieces. For example, the\u00a0pupils had to guess the animal being depicted in the Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saens.<\/p>\n
There was opportunity to explore inter-disciplinary learning links with science (sound).\u00a0 The pupils were asked to identify how sound is produced and how it travels.\u00a0 They also carried out a water pitch experiment to identify which glass of water, when tapped,\u00a0produced the highest\/lowest pitch sound and why.<\/p>\n
We also linked to our Language and Literacy work of poetry this term.\u00a0 The pupils used their Higher Order Thinking Skills to Create movement to music that was matched a poem read aloud by Jenna.<\/p>\n
This session was followed by our continuing Feis Rois Ukelele workshop.\u00a0\u00a0Primary 5 and 6 are \u00a0becoming very proficient in identifying, reading and playing musical chords on this instrument.\u00a0 They are able to work collaboratively to play\u00a0very pleasing group compositions.<\/p>\n
