Everyone welcome! # Year 4 - Music: Major and Minor ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_1253.jpeg) 9 May 2024 This week in Year 4, the children learned about major chords and minor chords, that major scale sounds happy and the minor scale sounds sad. They learned to play ‘Happy Birthday’ in both scales on a keyboard so that they could hear the difference. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_1253.jpeg) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [Music](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/music) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-158B6E16-9211-4C4C-8D61-4574851A2F68.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-08-year-3-english-david-attenborough-use-nouns-and-pronouns-appropriately-to-avoid-repetitio) Previous ### [Year 3- English- David Attenborough- Use nouns and pronouns appropriately to avoid repetition.](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-08-year-3-english-david-attenborough-use-nouns-and-pronouns-appropriately-to-avoid-repetitio) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1238(1).jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-09-year-4-french-ou-puis-je-acheter) Next ### [Year 4 - French: Ou Puis-Je Acheter…?](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-09-year-4-french-ou-puis-je-acheter) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
