Y5/6 Composition Workshop
Y5/6 spent the morning working with Jenny and Lucy from the music Education Group, exploring Body Percussion.
First of all we thought about different sounds we could make with our bodies – we had lots of ideas from clapping and stamping, to thumping our chests and tapping our heads!
Then we watched a clip called ‘Connect it’ by Anna Meredith who uses clapping, stamping, shouting and beatboxing instead of instruments. (This is one of the BBC ‘s 10 Pieces – you can view it here.
Then we practised the chant ‘Knees , clap , click -first with words and sounds, then with just sounds. First we did it as a whole class, then we gradually split up into 4 groups and performed it as a round.
Then it was composition time!
We made up some chants based on what we had for breakfast.
e.g. rice crispies and a glass of juice! , and thought of different body sounds . We combined 4 different ones – the results were amazing!
