Howitt Primary Community School
Music of the Week
Every week in school, we share a featured genre of music and listen to a variety of artists within the genre. We listen to these tracks in assemblies and in class.
We encourage the children to listen and think about how the music makes them feel. Our discussions look at where in the world it was made and when in our history was it created. Over time, we are beginning to recognise characteristics of different genres as well.
This term, we have been expanding our musical horizons by exploring these styles of music:
So far this year, we have also enjoyed listening to featured pieces of music by musicians and composers:
Maurice Ravel - Bolero
Destiny's Child - Say My Name
Yearning Of The Sword by Tan Dun and Yo Yo Ma
Inkanyezi Nezazi (The Star and the Wiseman) - Ladysmith Black Mambazo
