Description

This unit investigates the power of music to unite people. Pupils explore how song is used in sacred spaces, sports arenas and live concerts. Pupils study songs with unity as their common theme and use the lyrics to guide an effective, emotive performance.

Prior to this unit, pupils have studied songs sung for a range of purposes, including songs that evoke a feeling, work songs, community songs, and songs that tell a story. Pupils now start to explore the concept of being united through songs. Building on their knowledge of songs changing over time, there is an increased focus on conveying meaning and mood through song, which is explored further in later units.
