Primary 7 Miss Findlay’s Music Activity Grid

May 2020

Here are some links to activities you can do in May. I suggest you do one per week. I’d love to see some of your work or read some of your thoughts. Post them Teams in the Music Folder. Activity 1

BODY BEATS

Ollie Tunmer from ‘Beat Goes On’ presents an interactive series of Body Percussion lessons. He starts a new series every Monday, so it’s best to start there. You will need a bit of space to move around in. If you can get youtube on your TV that’s ideal. I’d recommend you start with this one from 23/3/ 20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4mZhv9HS-g&t=8s

Activity 2

BBC TEN PIECES AT HOME.

Every week BBC Ten Pieces are providing a lesson inspired by a piece of classical music. This is the first one from 20/4/20 https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/ten-pieces/watch-this-do-this-weekly-activities/zjy3382 You can find all of the ‘Trailblazers’ pieces here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/ten-pieces/ten-pieces-trailblazers/zfpy7nb

The lyrics are online but also at the bottom of the page if you want to print them. Have a think about the lyrics of the song and what they mean.

This is one moment, (This is) one people, (This is) one lifetime, (This is) one song. (x2)

Cos the room keeps getting brighter as we shine a light, and the world keeps getting kinder singing out side by side.

Every heartbeat drums together and fills up with pride and we’re growing strong together, singing out side by side.

This is one moment, (Cos the room keeps getting brighter as you shine a light,) (This is) one people, (This is) one lifetime, (and the world keeps getting kinder with you by my side.) (This is) one song (x 2)
