Musication Workshop

We had a fantastic music workshop this afternoon with Nick and Ben from Musication. We learned so much about the saxophone and tuba. After some fun warm up exercises we explored pulse and tempo and learned about base lines and melodies in music. We then split into 2 groups, with one group composing the base line and the other the melody, and created our own version of 'Bare Necessities'.  All in less than an hour! Amazing!
