We have been really enjoying our music lessons so far! Out topic is ‘Africa’ and so far we’ve been learning a song called ‘Shosholoza’. It includes call and response and is the second national anthem of South Africa. The children have been fantastic with recalling information about the song – who sung it? Why did they create it? What does it mean?
Yesterday, we looked at three new terms: ostinato, mnemonics and polyrhythms. We had a go at playing our own polyrhythms using different instruments!
Well done 5OP!
