A new musical form called... RONDO!

The Grade 3 students having been busy working on a musical form called RONDO!

Rondo is when a piece of music follows a specific form (ABACADAE....) where a main theme is repeated. 

We first learned a song called "Écoute" and explored the Rondo form using the Xylophones, Boomwhackers, African Drums and Maracas.

Next we learned a piece called "Allons'y" where we performed a circle dance in the form of a Rondo. 

We then listened to a piece of music called "Viennese Musical Clock". This is a classical piece that follows the Rondo form. The students were then divided into groups to create movement that would go along with the piece. 

Finally, the students will have the chance to create their own Rondos in class using any musical instrument. These Rondos will then be performed to the rest of the class.
