Christmas in Music

As well as our extra curricular performances (some of which have been cancelled due to the weather) we are playing a variety of Christmas tunes during class time.

S1 and S2 are concentrating on developing their performing skills with tunes such as Jingle Bells, Jingle Bell Rock, Rudolph, Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town and Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. We will try some composing and listening activities. Music, as always, is available for home practice.

S3 have been putting together their own version of Airplanes and are learning Merry Christmas Everybody for their group performance piece. Home practice is essential if we are to record perfomances of this before Christmas. Targets are noted in homework planners. Keyboard players should be learning to play their part with both hands.

S4,5 and 6 continue to meet deadlines and work for prelims and assessments.
