Brass lessons continue weekly with the children in Key Stage 2. They are working hard to perfect their tone and pitch. The children have looked closely at the different notes, noting the differences between crochets, minims and semibreves and checking how many beats are in the bar. They have also learned about the importance of handling their instruments with care and ensuring they are packed away correctly and carefully.
The song 500 miles has progressed well today with everyone concentrating on playing their individual parts. The hard part comes when putting all four parts together and making sure the timing is correct. Some people are also working hard to play the higher notes by squeezing their lips harder and blowing faster through the mouthpiece. This is proving quite tricky but practise makes progress which is why it is important for everyone to make sure they continue to practise playing throughout the week between brass lessons.
Here are some of our other favourite medleys.
A combination of song and brass. Enjoy!
