WB: 1st March
Good morning everybody!
Here is our music assembly learning for this week.
1. In our Ten Pieces work, we’ll be finding out about our new piece for February.
2. In our ‘Singing Assembly’ we are carrying on learning some Body Percussion parts,
Ten Pieces:
We have a new piece to look at for March written by the composer Anna Meredith.
Anna Meredith is a Scottish composer who writes electronic and acoustic music. She likes to work with orchestras, bands and choreographers to create music that uses clapping, stamping, shouting and beatboxing instead of instruments. Her piece Connect It doesn’t feature any instruments at all!

Dance Monkey:
Here are some different versions of Dance Monkey Body Percussion. You could try them out and get some ideas for your own 4 beat composition. The last one is particularly challenging. I wonder if anyone can do any of the patterns!
