This week, in our music lesson with Mr Hylton, we were exploring single and double beats.
To warm up, we performed one of the songs we had previously learnt and moved our bodies in time to the music.
We listened to single beats and practised listening, copying and echoing Mr Hylton as he clapped a steady beat. We then moved on to clapping double beats which were faster. We had a go at joining in with Mr Hylton as he played these on the drums.
After mastering this skill by clapping, we explored using the percussion instruments to tap single and double beats. We played along with Mr Hylton, developing our confidence at playing slower and faster and in time with the music.
We practised performing this skill in groups, listening attentively to our friends.
