We learnt how to sing the names of the musical notes accompanied by "Do re mi" .


Do, re , mi in the musical "The sound of music"

I hope we are having a very nice year. 

We started to write our first short composition to explain all we did, what we learnt in our lessons or what we enjoyed most. 

We learnt how to name notes and note values in English. 











In order to learn all these contents easily, we watched these videos to play with boomwhackers:

Video no1: Twinkle twinkle little star

Video no2: Tetris

In order to review how to read  half notes ( blancas) ,quarter notes ( negras) and eighth notes ( corcheas) and rests in general, we watched these videos: 

Video no1: Introduction to rhythm reading

Etc



We learnt to sing "We will rock you" by Queen. Perhaps this song has the most rhythmic and known ostinato in the history of rock. 



We started to describe the character of songs and pieces of music we sang and listened to. 

We used our music books and a list of a lot of adjectives to do it.
