What is it?

Sound and percussion is a cross-curricular -Science/Music- presentation to explain how sound works. It covers: vibration, higher, lower, louder and quieter. It shows how sounds can be manipulated and how they can be used to ‘paint’ pictures. The whole talk is based on a musicians approach to sound and includes participation from everyone present.

This presentation is aimed at all KS2 children. When booking you will need to say whether it will be for lower, upper or all of Key Stage 2. The children will be required to sing one verse of ‘One more step along the world I go’ from memory.

It can be used at the beginning, middle or end of a topic on sound or free standing for a whole school science week.  For further information please download the ‘KS2 Sound Brochure’ below.

I will be on site for about three hours. The presentation to children lasts approximately one hour with follow-up question and answer sessions later in the classroom.

Can be used for Science Week or Arts Week
