Pitch is really important for helping Year 1 students learn about musical notes. Here’s how it works:
What is Pitch?
Pitch tells us if a sound is high or low.
For example, think about a bird singing. That's a high pitch.
A drum, on the other hand, makes a low pitch sound.
Following Melodies:
When students learn to spot different pitches, they can understand a melody better.
They can listen to a song and notice if the notes go up or down, just like going up and down stairs.
Fun with Instruments:
Using simple instruments like xylophones can make learning fun.
Ask students to play notes in order and see if they can tell when they're playing high or low sounds.
Singing Songs:
Singing well-known songs helps students remember what pitch means.
For example, when you sing “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,” point out how the pitches change as everyone sings together.
