Y1 – Exploring Duration – Space Journey Composition

This term in Y1, we have been exploring the term duration (long and short sounds) and have been playing percussion and composing our own class pieces.

You can have a listen to our compositions.  They are based on a journey into space, where signals are given and sounds represent the long whirring noises of the machinery and the whoosh of the air outside the rocket, changing to shorter sounds representing a meteor storm.

The first composition is made using our voices and the signals are given in words.

The second composition is performed using a range of percussion instrument.
