Year 7s Enjoying Musical Futures Percussion Unit
Year 7s are enjoying the Just Play Musical Futures percussion unit. They are learning the foundations of a rock back beat using percussion instruments played along to Billy Jean by Michael Jackson. It also incorporates some background on other artists from different eras that use this fundamental beat. Students learn the parts separately, then with the class as an ensemble and join a small group of their choice to further develop their parts to become as one as a group performance to the class. They are building confidence, teamwork, listening and communication skills all the while developing those neurological pathways to the brain. Can you believe this iconic song, Billy Jean, is 40 years old this year and still a hit with the kids of this era!
