Year 4 - Starting to learn the Ukulele!

Year 4 have had their first lessons on the Ukulele in music with Mrs Manser. So far we have learnt the names of the strings using the mnemonic Good Children Eat Apples and we have started playing a song called "My dog has fleas!". Next we are going to focus on using the correct fingers to play chords.

Rock N Roll in Year 4

Year 4 carried on with Ukulele playing this week, looking at how we can use Roman numerals to show chord progressions.

We have learnt chords I IV and V in C Major so we can play the Rock and Roll classic, Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry.
