Week beginning 18.01.21
Task 1
LO: To learn about a composer and perform body percussion
Florence Price overcame prejudice to become the first black female composer to have her work performed by a major orchestra!
Watch and read: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/ten-pieces/classical-music-florence-price-symphony-no1/z48rscw
In the video, the West African rhythms are re-created as body percussion. Can you copy them? Once you have mastered one hand, can you use both hands?!
What other repeating rhythms can you create by patting and slapping your arms, legs and chest? How about including stamping with your feet? When you’ve finished, have a go at copying this: https://youtu.be/D1o_Xnx6_e8 Have fun!
PS don’t forget to continue learning to sign to “You’ve got a friend in me!” https://youtu.be/CSQ8-TAA3xI
Task 2
LO: To listen to a performance and identify the instruments
Last summer, a group of children, young people and adults recorded themselves playing ‘All You Need Is Love’ by the Beatles. All the separate recordings have been put together to make one ‘virtual’ performance. Have a listen. What do you think? How many instruments can you name? There are a few that you may not recognise. Can you guess what they are? Look at the credits to see if you’re correct! https://youtu.be/yW3WC5bYrAY
