Music - Musical Notation

This afternoon the children in Roses were learning to recognise simple rhythmic notation by ear and by sight. We learnt the lyrics in our songs (we had learnt in our previous lesson) were made up of minims, which are long notes, worth two beats. They were also made up of crotchets, which are shorter notes, worth one beat. And finally some were made up of quavers, which are short notes, worth half a beat each.
We looked at how they were written in a piece of music and began practicing reading the musical notes in time. In pairs we learnt different patterns and shared them with the class.
