CREATIVE PROJECT OF THE WEEK
Y5/Y6

J.S Bach composed his Brandenburg
Concertos using musical notation.
In J.S Bach times there were no computers, so 
he had  to write all the music by hand.

Have a go at  writing a short melody  using 
a musical notation software!
It is an online resource, ask your parents 
to sign in for you.

Once on the home page, click on create and 
select:  start from a blank score sheet.

Can you figure out how to  write a short melody  and how to play it back?



    I hope you enjoyed this week's music blog!
