This is Mrs Woolfenden's new favourite music page! Explore music from around the world with wonderful musicians and artists working with Carnegie Hall in New York. Click on the musicians on the interactive map to take you to their page, then watch videos and play the tracks to learn the songs and learn more about the music from each place.
Sing Up At Home
This is an excellent resource, with loads of songs from different genres, perfectly suited for different age groups across the primary school. I recommend listening to the playlists. There's a great one to get you moving and dancing. Once you've listened and chosen your favourites, you can click on 'lyrics' and learn the words.
BBC Ten Pieces
Have you explored the wonderful range of classical music featured in the BBC Ten Pieces? For each piece, there is a great film introducing the composer and their music, and a full performance of the piece. There are also links to creative responses recorded by children in schools. Enjoy!

Digital Music-making
Most of you will have tried Garageband on a phone or tablet at home, or on one of the school ipads, but the following programmes are also great for creating riffs or composing music with pre-made riffs.
Incredibox is great fun. You just drag pictures onto different singers/beatboxes to get started. You can stop and start riffs at different time and mix them to create your piece. Think about variety and dynamics as you introduce new riffs. Will you add new riffs gradually, or all at once? Do you want your music to stop suddenly or fade out? Listen to the incredibox playlist for some inspiration and how others have used the app.
Chrome Music Lab gives you ample opportunity to explore different elements of music such as pitch, rhythm, timbre and dynamics, as well as creating music in the Songmaker app. Try out different instrument sounds, and a different number of beats in the bar. It's nice to be able to 'see' as well as hear your music with the coloured squares. You could try a musical rainbow!
