Year 4 Music

Y4 – Ocarina Playing

 

All Y4 pupils have been learning to play an ocarina this term and we have made some recordings to show you our progress so far.  One of the hardest things about playing the ocarina is controlling your breath, so that the sound comes out clearly rather than sounding ‘puffy’.  We have tried really hard to do this well!

Both classes have been learning a range of pieces and they each chose their favourite for recording.

 

Class 1 – is playing a piece called ‘Scary’ which showcases staccato notes and playing trills and is very dramatic.

Class 2 – is performing ‘Au Clair de la Lune’, which has a beautiful melody and smooth phrases.

Class 1 - 'Scary'
Class 2 - 'Au Clair de la Lune'
