After School Music Club October 2011

Looking at Pitch


We used pages from the website to help the children understand the difference between high and low sounds.


They looked at the page in the music school that had pictures of a bird singing and a large boat blowing a horn.


mozo island music school high and low sounds

They then pressed the buttons to hear the difference between a high and a low sound.



They then began drawing other things which made high and low sounds. . .


Come back soon to see how they got on.

RockClass Summer 2011

Welcome to Mozo Island 'RockClass'


Here are some videos from the Rock Class sessions this summer.


These sessions were for some of the children who have progressed through the Music School material individually and were ready to work in groups.


Mozo Island Music School course material is ideal for beginner children, and covers guitar and keyboard. The events use this material and supports the needs of other instrumentalists and singers.










The Video here shows a rehearsal of Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes before a performance to parents.






You can see that the kids all had a really good time, even though there are mistakes here and there.




There are more videos to follow from this event.

Musical Instrument Tryout Event Summer 2011

Welcome to the Mozo Island Try-out Event July 2011


This is a short report from the course which ran for a week in putney – West London.

Here are some of the kids using the website in a group rehearsal. They were playing along to the music whilst following the notation on the smartboard.



They found it a fun and easy way to try new instruments, and play with others at the same time.



Everyone was a beginner, so everyone made mistakes at the start but it didn’t matter.



In this group there were 5 or 6 children on the keyboards and the same number on the guitars. After they played a tune for a few times, they all switched over to try the same tune but on a different instrument.

           
Here are some of the children performing on the last day. They wanted to show their friends and parents what they had been learning earlier in the week.



The children had a chance to perform to each other a few times each day, so the younger ones could see what the older ones had been doing.




Some of the other activities which the children did were to make a jigsaw using the fruit characters from the website…

 




…..and design a performance outfit for the beach club.





We look forward to seeing you soon at one of the next events, or drop by the site and leave us a message at the Visitor Centre!
