Yesterday’s lesson with Year 6
We discussed the first three notes of ‘YPGO’. We decided they sound good together and the pupils learnt that when notes play together a ‘chord’ is made. The children split up into four groups and each sang one note D F A D’. They held their note on and produced a chord. I explained that this was harmony rather than unison.
The children then played arpeggios on the xylophones and chime bars.

We then listened to the opening of ‘YPGO’ especially listening out for the arpeggios.
