♫ The Music Elements. The Building Blocks of Music.

We will be moving to our remote learning system for a little while.
Following our usual schedule, join me in the virtual music room where we will learn about the building blocks of music and basic music theory.
You will need a pencil and paper.
Zoom links and google meet links have been shared and I’ll see you at our scheduled time in our google classrooms or on zoom.
See you soon!

Welcome back to the music classes!

It has been a long time since we’ve all been together at school and no matter how much I enjoyed seeing you all online I am so looking forward to seeing you again in person, properly socially distanced, of course!

There will be a few changes and challenges that we will have to face as a music class as we start the year, the first being that, for the time being, I will be visiting you in your homerooms rather than you coming to me in the music room.

We will start the year with a listening unit and explore together music from different times and cultures.

I can’t wait to see you all again!

Mr Chris

Well, that was quite a year of excitement!
Enjoy your summer and I’ll see you when we get back to school.
We ended our year with a virtual talent show.
Here’s the links to the shows plus some more very talented children that we couldnt quite fit in on the day or whose videos we coudn’t show in full but whose talents deserve to be shared!

Welcome to a new year of music making here at KIS. We have many exciting things in store and many new things to learn.
Our first unit, Inspiring Individuals, a school-wide unit, takes a look at our quality learning behaviours and how they look in the music classes.

At KIS we believe that quality learning behaviours include:

Striving for understanding
Developing our passions
An inclusive and caring community
Taking ethical action.

How do we do this in the music classes?
