Preparing for the orchestra with Ruth Hooke Monday T2 09

Year 3 are learning about the orchestra.
In the photo they are learning about parts of the orchestra.
Can you see them listening to music?
They are identifying parts of the orchestra.
Part of their work is looking closely at composition.
The music begins with a robust introduction on the piano and woodblock playing a rhythmic accompaniment.
The strings play a new tune introducing a duet for clarinet and violin.
After a pause the music grows slower and drops in pitch, like the windup gramophone running down. Finally the music picks up for a boisterous finale.
Can you see the patterns some of the boys have drawn?
Hoedown from Rodeo by Copeland 1900-1990.
