Mrs Capron found out about a wonderful lady called Mrs Taylor, who comes to school to teach us music and help us to create a percussion band.We have been working in groups and trying different tuned and untuned instruments to see which ones we can play the best.
We have found that we can play many different rhythms and we are learning that instruments need to be chosen carefully for the sound you want to make.
At the moment we are learning to play the metalaphone and glockenspiels. Some of us already play instruments like the flute, violin, recorders and bass guitars. We are going to practise and find out what we are good at, so that we can show off our percussion band on busking day.
Trying out the instruments is fun! Don't forget to come and see us play in the summer!

Wow that looks like fun (but noisy!!)! Do you have a favourite instrument that you have learnt about?
My favourite instrumemt is the bongo drums. I like them because they are small and they are noisy and that is why I like the bongo drums. And they also help us keep to the beat in our band.
I like the metalaphone because I can play some tunes on it.
