AUTUMN TERM It’s an Enigma! – identifying Elgar’s theme used in Nimrod from Enigma Variations, children found the notes on keyboards and created their own music incorporating this theme. They then used Garageband to include loops. Children later dedicated their own music to a friend. Like Elgar, they created their own theme first from 3 or 4 selected notes |

The pentatonic can also be used playing only black notes – introduced to sharps and flats. Use Garageband to make the keyboard sound like Chinese instruments.
