Whistle for the winds - Rain forest Improvisation by year 3
Year three have been using their Stave House notation to work at a piece for
their Topic on Guatemala this half term.
Whistle for the winds is a melody written down by a European traveller in
1962 and is an old Mayan tune.
The children looked at Clay bird whistles made in Peru which are very
similar to the types of Bird whistle the Mayans made . They have all had fun
with replica whistles in class.
The children then took some topical words - they chose - Guatemala, Tikal,
Coco and chocolate, Santa Catalina and Quetzal bird, and they worked out
how to put those words into Musical Rhythm values. They formed groups of
different percussion sounds including rain sticks and Bird whistles - each
group improvised by playing their chosen rhythmic pattern and together they
made this little atmospheric piece hopefully inspiring a walk in the forests
of Guatemala.
