Check out these courageous and ambitious singers from Reception. In this part of the lesson, children were invited to sing 'solo' in front of all their friends! 🤩
Children were practising their pitch-matching skills (singing in tune with the keyboard). They were singing the 'cuckoo-call'. This is a musical interval of a third.
Not only were they pitch matching, but they were also beginning to understand how to use a 'pitch-pencil' to reinforce their understanding of the pitches they were singing.
