3. INTRODUCTION TO THE FORSETH CARDS • The forseth cards will help you to learn about rhythm • Lets have a go today! See if you can remember the movements and sounds for next lesson…..

28. When we combine all of these elements, we create music! PULSE PITCH RHYTHM

29. What have you learnt today? • What new words have you learnt? • Can you define them? • Can you give a practical example of each of our key words?

33. Evaluation • I think our performance had a good pulse • I think our performance had a weak pulse • I think I performed my rhythms accurately • I think I need to perform my rhythms more accurately • We had a good start and a good finish • We had a weak start and a weak finish • We were well organised • We were not well organised • What can I do better? • Do I need to change my rhythms to make the group • performance stronger?

34. Homework • Tell me a little bit about your favourite pop group / solo artist. • What do you like about them? • What instruments can you hear? • Tell me about the speed of the song?

35. Homework 2 • Evaluation • 1. What was good about our group performance? • 2. What do we need to do to improve our piece?

36. Today we are going to: • Learn to recognise the sounds of classroom percussion instruments • Create and practise rhythm compositions using the instruments • Perform our final compositions to the whole class
