Musical Rocks

–

Pupils will be able to explore science and music as they “rock” out on Cliffe Castle’s lithophone (musical stones).

Pupils will compare and group together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties.

They will also improvise and compose music using different dimension (tempo, pitch, dynamics), listen with attention to detail and recall sounds with increasing aural memory, and develop an understanding of the history of music.
