Audrey Mackay, primary music teacher at Wallacestone PS and St Mary’s RC PS, has been working with\u00a0pupils on the BBC 10 Pieces initiative. Click here<\/a> to learn more about this project.<\/p>\n

A number of her classes have been listening and responding to classical music\u00a0during the \u201cTen Pieces\u201d project.\u00a0 This project is designed to introduce young people to the world of classical music in a fun and interesting way.\u00a0 Primary 7 at St Mary’s RC PS\u00a0have been particularly\u00a0inspired to create their own response to the music by working together to compose a fusion between the opening bars of Beethoven\u2019s 5th Symphony, the familiar theme from Greig\u2019s \u201cIn the Hall of the Mountain King\u201d and Scottish Composer Anna Meredith\u2019s body percussion piece \u201cConnect\u201d.\u00a0 The class are now in the final stage of rehearsing and hope to complete the video of their composition in the next week.<\/p>\n

At Wallacestone PS, primary 5 classes attended the launch of the project at Cineworld in October and have been studying the various pieces during their\u00a0Music lessons.\u00a0Primary 5D chose Anna Meredith\u2019s \u201cConnect it\u201d as the piece they would like to create a response to – click here <\/a>to watch a performance of this piece.\u00a0 In co-operative learning groups they created their own body percussion compositions.\u00a0\u00a0Their performances were videoed for evaluation in class .<\/p>\n

\"BBC<\/a>Primary 5E chose \u201cA short ride in a fast machine\u201d by John Adams.\u00a0 Their response was completely different to the other class. A suggestion from one child about playing the music whilst running his remote control car round the classroom led to a filming project in and around the school.\u00a0 Video clips were taken in various locations and then edited using Moviemaker. Whilst some children were filming others were experimenting with the mp3 track of the music and Audacity. The children were able to select how much or little of the original to use and then experiment with Audacity\u2019s various features.\u00a0\u00a0 After consultation with the class, one track was chosen to be the sound track for their film and was further edited using Audacity.\u00a0\u00a0 The film is now in its final stages of editing and will hopefully be completed by 25 March 2015.<\/p>\n

Audrey’s work is a good example of interdisciplinary learning, with pupils applying their musical literacy analysis skills while broadening their understanding of music in our society. The pupils have been able to use personalisation and choice and develop their creativity and ICT skills while creating their responses to their chosen pieces.\u00a0Pupils will also develop understanding of how\u00a0each subject within the expressive arts can be combined through a\u00a0performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
