Sad Music
First the children make up some 'sad feelings' words using this a template:
- Feeling ... feeling ...
- Feeling ... feeling ...
The words chosen by Jack and Nathan rhymed too!
- Feeling sorry, feeling sad
- Feeling lonely, feeling bad
I asked them to choose notes from this set: A, C, D, E and to play slowly to create sad music. It's a good idea to tell the children that they don't have to use all the notes and that the notes don't need to go up and down in order.
Jack and Nathan experimented with different ways of playing and this was the version they liked best, played on the school piano. Jack played C, D and E and Nathan played the A, which we thought sounded good as the last note.
