Peter and the Wolf

We had a great time in class this week listening to the story of Peter and the Wolf.

During the course we have come to appreciate the many different instruments found in the orchestra and the children can identify many of these by sound and name.

You may have noticed how quickly the children have learnt to read notes on the stave. All the children can now read, sing and play a pentatonic (five note) scale.

Today we also looked briefly at the instrument they will be studying in Semester 3; a dulcimer. This is a two stringed instrument which is played by plucking the strings.

Next week we will be preparing for our Semester Finale. We plan to showcase a few things from this semester.
