Term 4 "Creativity through Music" with Richard

media type="custom" key="7863177"

This was an opportunity for the children to explore unusual instruments (by Lindo Francis), construct instruments, explore sounds and decide on the sounds they need to construct a sound story in a collaborative atmosphere. The children worked with a current Teacher aide at Westmere who is also a drumming teacher. Richard Manic has worked as a music/drama therapist in schools. He is also a performer, singer/songwriter with over 20 years experience in facilitation of young bands performing and song writing. They made a growler,coconut shell clip clops,, whirly pot, a slapstick and other cool instruments using a variety of equipment.(see if you can spot the instructions in the slide show) They were then split into two groups and constructed a story using the sounds of the instruments. These sound stories were performed in front of a live audience...and the crowd went wild!!!!!
