We will be looking at 3 different things in music today!
The Orchestra
First of all we will be learning a little bit about the orchestra!
​The main vocabulary to take from this lesson is orchestra, conductor, musicians, strings, woodwind, percussion and brass!

Body Percussion/ Beat
Now, we will be learning about beat in a song and how our bodies can act as instruments through body percussion! There's lots of standing up and joining in for this one!!
Remember: A beat is a steady sound/pulse in the back of a song (kind of like a heartbeat💗)

Here's the fun popcorn song that you can try again if you'd like!

Rhythm 
I am going to introduce you to Granny Semibreve, Mr Minim, Mr Crochet and Little Miss Quaver! These are different rhythms in music. After watching this video try and clap along with the song from Moana below! 😊

Thanks so much to everyone for watching Music with Ms Keogh. I will be back next week with another fun activity! 😊

 Hello again everyone! Today's experiment requires minimal resources. We will be making our own Lava Lamps, how cool! The super thing about these is you can choose your own colour by changing the food colouring. I really hope you enjoy it, and have FUN!!

You will need:

• Water
• Oil
• Food colouring
• A clear container ie. a glass

Extension - add some drops of red food colouring and then some blue, what do you think will happen? Try some other mixtures!
