Description

This unit explores the effect of changing tempo and dynamics in our songs. Pupils feel and show the pulse of songs through movement and respond to tempo changes. Pupils explore character changes when singing with different levels of dynamics and explore how these changes make the songs feel.

In this unit, pupils progress their understanding of tempo, listening to and singing songs with tempo variation. They continue to develop their ability to feel the pulse of the music and understand its importance for successful ensemble singing and playing. Pupils also deepen their understanding of techniques for setting the mood of music including changing the tempo and dynamics. This will be developed further in later singing and composition units.
