Year 5 have been learning about water music. The children were challenged to create a ‘soundscape’ of the rolling ocean waves. They had to use 3 layers of sound and include dynamic changes. It was a great opportunity for the children to experiment with layering body percussion with tuned and un-tuned percussion.
