  • Developing our singing voice
  • Practising and preparing for a performance

Description

In this unit, pupils develop their vocal technique and perform songs with a harmony line. They learn to rehearse songs to a performance standard and evaluate their singing, ensuring that they are able to convey the style of each song through an accurate, confident and responsive performance.

Building on performance skills from prior units, pupils are encouraged to draw together their singing skills of accurate intonation, their ability to hold a second part and their understanding of how the lyrics should be delivered to achieve an effective performance. They have also learnt vocal techniques that allow them to look after and warm up their voice effectively. Pupils will utilise this and prior learning of the use of musical elements such as tempo and dynamics to create an effective performance.

  2. Balancing harmony lines in songs
