Year 1 and 2 Samba Concert

On Friday 23rd March the children in Year 1 and 2 performed an amazing samba concert.  They have been working hard to learn to keep a steady beat and play rhythm patterns on a range of different samba drums and hand percussion.  They showed off their brilliant musical skills in style, kicking off the concert with a song called 'The Cliddesden Samba'!  The children showed that there is a lot more to playing samba than just banging a drum - they listened to each other and kept together really well.  The concert also gave the children the opportunity to play some of their own rhythm compositions based on rainforest animals, and to play music inspired by the film 'Rio'.

 

It has been amazing to hear how much progress the children have made this term in their drumming - it is very hard to make samba sound good in any year group, so the fact that Year 1 and 2 have mastered it and produced such a great sound is fantastic!
