Year 3’s Musical Adventure with the Recorder!

Our Year 3 class has been diving into the wonderful world of music by learning to play the recorder! Over the past few weeks, the students have been enthusiastically discovering how to read music and play the notes on this delightful instrument.

The journey began with understanding musical notes and how to read them on sheet music. The children practiced finger placements and learned to produce clear, beautiful sounds on the recorder. Each lesson brought new notes and rhythms to master, and the classroom was filled with the joyful sounds of progress.

As their skills improved, the students began practicing combinations of notes. They worked hard to perfect their timing and coordination, and it was wonderful to see their confidence grow with each session. Playing the recorder became not only a learning experience but also a fun and rewarding challenge.

Now, we are thrilled to be preparing for a very special performance. At the end of our seven weeks of learning, the Year 3 class will showcase their newfound talents in a performance for the entire school. The students are practicing diligently and are very excited to share what they have learned with everyone.

Our Year 3 recorder players have made fantastic progress, and their dedication is truly inspiring. We can’t wait to see them shine on stage and celebrate their hard work and musical achievements!

For the past seven weeks, our Year 4 students have been on an exciting musical adventure, learning how to play the trumpet! They started by discovering the different parts of this amazing instrument and understanding how each part works together to make music.

The children then moved on to learning the notes, which was a fun and challenging part of their journey. They practiced how to position their fingers and control their breath to hit the right notes. Everyone was excited when they finally made their first sounds on the trumpet!

As their skills grew, the students began playing short pieces of music. It was incredible to see their progress as they learned to read music and perform simple melodies. Each week, they became more confident and enthusiastic about playing.

The highlight of their trumpet journey was preparing for a final performance. Using all the knowledge and skills they had gained, the children worked hard to perfect their rendition of “Jingle Bells.” They practiced diligently, and their hard work paid off with a fantastic performance that made everyone proud.

Our Year 4 students learned a lot during these seven weeks, from the basics of the trumpet to performing a full piece of music. Their final performance was a wonderful celebration of their dedication and newfound musical talents. We are so proud of their achievements and look forward to more musical adventures in the future!
