Singing for performance: Changing tempo and dynamics in our songs

6 lessons

Threads

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

Description

This unit teaches performance skills as well as how to change the tempo and dynamics of our singing to reflect different moods. Pupils will learn to warm up their voices, sing songs with different feelings and moods, and prepare and deliver effective vocal performances.

This unit builds on the singing techniques developed so far, extending the range of the pieces and introducing more complex songs to sing from memory. Pupils will develop their expression, considering the mood of a song and reflecting this in their singing considering dynamics, tempo and timbre. Pupils are introduced to what a performance is, and the unit builds a foundation for how to rehearse to improve, a thread that will be significant in future singing and instrumental units.
