Summer 1 Term Scheme and Activities 

'Exploring Arrangements'

This term we will be writing our own music!

We will be creating, combining and performing our own pieces of music that we will be writing down as chords and as tab notation!

• We will be composing rhythmic, strumming types of music
• We will also be composing melodic, tuneful types of music.
• We will be combining the two types together to make a third composition! 

You will need to learn a few more chords to help your compositions be even more varied and interesting.

We are going to learn how to write a Blues song to go with the 12 Bar Blues that we looked at last term.

Finally when everything is written and ready, we will record it all!

What a busy, composing, ukulele-ing term!
