Music

Hello families and friends of Willway,

The music program here focusses on 4 main areas: Listening, Reading, Writing and Playing.

Over the course of their time at our school, your child/ren will learn how to:

-Read, write and create melodies and rhythms

-Learn the correct posture and warm up techniques to protect their voices and develop their vocal abilities

-Experience a variety of instruments based on their grade level

-Listen to different genres of music and see how different influences and types of sounds have progressed over the ages as well as different instruments

-Learn through play via class games

If you are hankering for some extra music education in the form of songs, interactive rhythm and melody activities, recorder, ukulele, bucket drums and guitar resources – look no further than https://www.musicplayonline.com

I look forward to another year of learning with these incredible children!

Precious Life

(p) So rare, so fine, so full of life, so tender, this cradle of birth,

(mf) So vast, so strong, so proud and mighty, (p) this ocean world, this womb of the earth;

And who would dream this life could be destroyed, To leave behind (cresc.) a bleak and barren void?

(f) So vast, so strong, so full of beauty, (p) This ocean world, so troubled now.

(mf) Who cares what becomes of the ocean: A life of wonder, or darkness and death?

Who will comfort and calm these troubled waters? (dim.)Who will help them, who will soothe them,

Who will save them, and (p) heal their wounds, (pp) Their grievous wounds?

(mp) So rare, so fine, this fragile joy, This precious life, this ocean world.

Evacuation!

(p) Dum de dum dee dum dee dum etc.

(mp/mf) Pepsi cans and coffee cups, assorted plastic bottles, Fast food containers and throw away spoons

Psychedelic rubber ducks and teddy bears and dollies, Discarded diapers and party balloons

We are the affluent junk, The effluent cream, We are society’s trash!

And when we’re out of your sight and out of your mind, Life goes with a splash!

We meet the plastic bags, and plastic sacks and broken plastic buckets,

hot water bottles and novelty clocks, Wellingtons and waterproofs and

cardigans and slippers Designer undies and cheap nylon socks

(cresc. to f) We’re on our way! We’re on our way to the ocean!

We’re so excited taking a break away from it all

We’re on our way! To see the beautiful ocean,

To find relief from pressure in following nature’s call.

(mp/mf) Bandages and cotton swabs and throw away syringes, Are ever ready to join in the cruise

All the little items far too regular to mention, The final product of billions of loos
