The Year 6 children at AP1 have been using the piece called 'Blue Monk' by Blues musician Theolonious Monk to inspire their own Blues pieces. All children worked as an ensemble to produce their own structured piece that included a melody, a bass line and an improvised section. What do you think is good about our pieces? What could we improve upon for next time? Don't forget to comment!
It was fun trying out some blue music. I never heard one, so it was a total new thing for me. Thanks to this topic, I learnt a new type of music.
