Billy The Kid - Year 6 music

Year 6 have been linking their music learning to their topic of Right and Wrong.

They have used the music from Billy The Kid, a ballet by Aaron Copland, to look at how composers manipulate musical elements to convey character in music.

They have learned the basic melody which describes Billy, and created their own pentatonic improvisations to create music to sound like a cowboy riding into town on a horse!
