Beat, Rhythm, Pitch and Texture

 

These young Jedi are using their lightsabers to defeat Darth Vader by taping to the beat of the Imperial March.  We had to listen carefully to the beat and changed the pace when necessary. 

The beat is the 'clock' of music. It always stays constant and never changes. While listening to different songs we could spot when the beat got faster or slower. Our next challenge is to create our own patterns that other teams can copy or add on. We could have an assembly piece on the horizon so keep an eye out!

We are also going to investigate our musicians use texture to create a mood in music and how this mood can make us feel lots of different emotions.
