This week the children in Class 1 had an afternoon of music, focusing on the composer Anna Meredith and her piece ‘Connect It’ from the BBC Ten Pieces collection.
The piece of music is made entirely from body percussion and sounds made by the children performing it, using movements and travel to make it exciting.
The children watched Anna Meredith and her group perform this piece, then had a go at learning it themselves. From this, they used her ideas and paired them with their own to create their own body percussion compositions.
Every group created an amazing body percussion composition, using movement, sound and innovative ways of making beats and rhythms. Have a look at some of the pictures and videos from our afternoon to see the children in action.
