Good morning everyone,
Hope you are all well and ready for some music today.
Firstly, are there any Star Wars 🚀 fans out there?!
Here’s a great podcast I’ve found. It’s by David Walliams, and called the Marvellous Music Podcast. Here’s the link:

This week, I’d like you to have a listen to EPISODE 10 (John Williams and The Chamber of Star Wars) and then have a go at the quiz which I’ve attached below. **The first 2 pages are the questions and the second 2 pages are the answers so no peeking!**
Episode 10 Super Brainiac Quiz John Williams
The episode is less than 20 minutes long, and I’m sure you’ll learn something new about music by listening.
ALSO, check out the spectrogram from Chrome Labs:
https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Spectrogram/
A spectrogram is just a type of graph, but one which shows sound waves in real time. Try the different options at the bottom of the page to see what different sounds look like (what a strange sentence!)
Using the hand icon, you can draw sounds onto the graph and hear what they sound like. You can also use the microphone icon to play in your own sounds (click fingers, clap hands, sing, use a musical instrument, dog, cat, budgie 🦜 …..) and see the results for yourself. Did you notice that the higher the pitch (or note) of the sound, the higher it is shown on the graph?
As always, I’d love to know how you get on, and if you have any questions, just let me know!
Mr Lamb 🎶🎸🎧🎵
