We have weekly music assemblies at Larkrise, where we sing together in a big group in unison and harmony. We have a Larkrise Spotify playlist, where you can follow some o fthe music we listen to and use at school: Larkrise Spotify Account
In our Music Assemblies, we learn about our Musician of the Month. As well as listening to and performing some of their music, we think about what kind of people they are (or were) and how the made a difference to society. We also sing a broad range of songs from around the world, from chants, to rounds, to classics, to modern...the list goes on!
This year, we have learned about: Bob Marley, Tracy Chapman, Björk, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven
Last year, we learned about:
David Bowie, Nina Simone, Ethel Smyth, Elton John, Reem Kelani, Mozart, Aretha Franklin
If you have been especially inspired by any of our musicians, why not find out more about them? Linked below is a document listing recommended books about the musical artists we have already learned about.
Why not check out the musicians we have been listening to and learning about, as well as think about singing more yourself!
