Description

Pupils learn that singing often draws communities together to tell stories, comment on history, share happy or sad times and to worship. Through rehearsing and performing a range of songs, pupils explore how different songs capture different emotions.

This unit broadens the pupils' vocal repertoire by exploring different ways people sing together. This develops the pupils' understanding of how and why we sing, moving on from how singing makes us feel and how singing can help us achieve a task. Through this unit, we continue to teach the importance of warming up the voice and body, and we introduce songs and games that will develop the pupils' vocal technique, focusing on a wider vocal range, clearer articulation and more authentic expression.
