Fun online learning resources
All our subscribers are sent the login code for our online music resources, which are great for practising the harmonica at home and building wider music knowledge.
Subscriptions
Termly and half-termly subscriptions are by bank transfer, or through our Store using a credit/debit card (no need to log in). Unfortunately we are unable to accept childcare vouchers or cash. Further information is provided in our taster invitation or renewal email. There are also further detail on our How To Pay page.
Our Teaching Plan This Term
Our current theme is musical diversity. Our popular study pieces are be drawn from the World Songs section of our key stage music libraries. You’ll find these in the Learning menu at the top of our homepage. We’ll also be exploring composition, song writing and improvisation.
Structure
To complement our composition theme, we will be looking more closely at musical structure and how songs are put together. New knowledge and vocabulary will include intro, outro, chorus, verse, bridge, middle 8, solo, ostinato, along with binary, ternary and rondo form.
Dates for your diary
We provide a minimum of 10 sessions per term, sometimes more. You can check the timetable for your School in our My School menu. It’s good to note these dates on your calendar; we don’t always start back during the first week of school and often finish before the end of term. Don’t get caught out!
Do you have all your basic kit?
Now is a good time to check your harmonica kit. As a minimum, each student should have:
• An A4 music folder (popper/zipper style)
• At least one working harmonica
• A small diary/notebook and pen
New kit and harmonicas can be ordered in our online Store. No log in is required to browse or place orders. Please note that if you have taken part in sessions and are moving up to Y2, you need to order a 10 hole Suzuki Airwave harmonica for our Y3-6 programme. Grown ups are welcome to supply their own notebook, pen and folder. Alternatively items can be ordered individually, or as a Music Pack. We look forward to making music with you this term.
