Music in Year 6

In Music, Year 6 have been leaning about John Williams’ film music. They compared Superman, Jaws, and Harry Potter and talked about how he used the elements of music in different ways to create different atmospheres for each films theme tune.

They then looked at the theme from Indiana Jones. We created our own March and played part of John Williams’ tune. We talked about the character of the tune and started to change different elements to alter its mood. What happens when you make a tune slower and quieter? Is scary music mainly loud or quiet?
