Year 4 Music Rhythms

Year 4 rhythms

We have been learning how to ask, and answer, questions in music. 

If the question was 'What is your favourite colour?', what would be a good answer? You could say 'Blue', but a longer answer could be 'My favourite colour is blue'.

Music works in the same way - If you ask a question, then the answer should refer to it!

We used Minims (stroll notes lasting 2 beats), Crotchets (walk notes lasting 1 beat), Quavers (running notes lasting half a beat) and our new rhythm, Semiquavers (fast notes!)

We created 4 bar question and answer phrases.

Can you count the beats in each bar?

Can you clap our rhythms?
