This KS2 Music quiz challenges you on responding to music. Responding to music is how we react when listening to it.
The American composer, Leonard Bernstein, said, "All you have to know is that music has its own meanings, right there for you to find inside the music itself; and you don't need any stories or any pictures to tell you what it means. If you like music at all, you'll find out the meanings for yourselves, just by listening to it."
Learning about music includes paying attention to how you respond. Dancing, clapping hands, tapping feet or even crying are all responses when listening to music. Even dogs respond by howling - are they joining in or telling us to shut up?! Try this quiz to see what you know.
