This half term in our music lessons we have been learning all about body percussion. We started by watching a video of an amazing choir who were on America’s Got Talent. They recreated the sound of rain by using different parts of their body to make sounds. For example, they clicked their fingers for quieter rain, tapped their knees as the rain got louder and jumped to represent the sound of thunder. We then composed our own rain piece using body percussion to make monsoon rain inspired by our work on India. The children used notation to easily write down their pieces in pairs before we went to to create one as a whole class. Notation in music is when we use signs or symbols to show a particular sound. We hope you like it!
