Singing together: how singing makes me feel

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

Description

This unit demonstrates how singing quietly and loudly can change the feel of the song. Pupils listen to music with changing dynamics and think about how it makes them feel. Lullabies and upbeat songs are sung in contrast to each other to identify when calmer or livelier singing is most effective.

This unit continues to explore how our voices can be used in different ways. Pupils are introduced to the keyword 'dynamics' and, through singing strongly and softly, develop an understanding of how changing dynamics affects our performance and how the listener might feel. This is a building block for creating an authentic performance, which they continue to develop in later singing units. Pupils continue to develop their ability to start and stop together and follow instructions from a conductor or leader, including signs and movements to represent changing dynamics.
