Music

This unit helps pupils to discover the difference between their speaking, or chanting, and singing voice. Through a diverse range of echo and call and response songs pupils will begin to pitch match songs that use an age appropriate small range of notes.

Start with singing: finding my singing voice

In this unit, pupils use minibeast names to rehearse and compose simple four beat rhythms by clapping, chanting and performing on untuned percussion. They use minibeast images to order and repeat these rhythms. Backing tracks are used to aid rehearsal and performance of their rhythmic compositions.

Compose and Create: exploring and performing rhythm patterns

This unit develops pupil's sense of pulse across a range of different tempi. Pupils internalise phrasing through music and movement games and understand when it is their turn to sing, move or play. They are challenged to notice and respond appropriately to tempo changes.

Music and movement: feeling the pulse and changing the tempo

This unit uses a simple call and response song and a theming around fruit to inspire short compositions. Pupils learn two rhythms (Ta and Ta-di) and two notes (so and mi) and combine these to create fruit-inspired compositions which they perform as part of the call and response song.
