Music in Lockdown
All of KS3 began online learning with a brief ‘Musical Identity’ topic, where we looked at our own musical preferences and how these have been influenced by the environment around us.
Years 7 & 8 then went on to learn about instruments of the orchestra over lockdown whilst Year 9 have looked at music from around the world.
We have signed up to an online composition platform called Bandlab and Year 9 finished their lockdown learning by composing their own ‘World Music Fusion’ piece. It has given them an opportunity to compose in a practical setting without needing any musical equipment and pupils have really enjoyed it.
