In Year 1 Music, students are listening to and performing music from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures as well as musical traditions from around the world. They are beginning to recognise how different cultures use music to share stories, feelings, and ideas.
Last week, students listened to “Sakura”, a traditional Japanese folk song about spring and cherry blossoms. After discussing the images the music created, they worked together using percussion instruments to build a class soundscape inspired by the song. We look forward to continuing our learning and exploring more songs from cultures across the globe.
