Composition time!
The pupils in year 6 have previously composed using percussion instruments and following prompt cards. They have even composed using tissue paper! This time children were asked to compose a ‘melody’ on the chime bars. They were asked to think about the Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra and about ‘theme’ and ‘arpeggios’, and to produce a short string of notes which sounded good to them. They wrote down their ideas and then performed them for the class.
