Music is In the Air!

We have been learning another language!  The language of music.  We are learning to read notes on a stave and to recognise the beat value of notes and rests.  I just love it when our tamariki are motivated to learn more, ubiquitously.  Just look what Liam achieved last night, after our lesson on writing music!  Katahi na te tamaiti mohio, ko koe, Liam! (What a clever child you are, Liam!)

There are been some amazing instruments created by students and their families.  Here is Ryan with the drum set he made and decorated and Tejesh with his homemade electric guitar.  On the table beside Ryan, you can see just some of the other instruments children have made.  Tumeke

As well, we are applying our knowledge to learn to play the ukulele. Some of us have been practicing to play in assembly one day soon.
