Rhythm (but no Blues)

In music, 3V continued their work on rhythm this afternoon.  First, we practised clapping the four different rhythm patterns (using those popular drink names to help us remember how many claps each one should have).  Then, we tried putting them together, so that different groups were doing different rhythm patterns, but all were in time with each other.  It sounded really good!

Then, we had a go at writing our own rhythm pieces, and performed them for each other. We enjoyed trying to identify each rhythm that the performers had chosen.  

Finally, we had a sneak preview of next week's music lesson, as we will begin studying a piece of reggae music: Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds."  We practised clapping along in time with the music and seeing whether we could fit our rhythm patterns to the music.  Why not try it yourself?  It's great fun!
