Description

In this unit, pupils develop their understanding of pitch, pulse, beat, and rhythm by participating in a variety of singing games. Through playful and interactive songs and movements, pupils will naturally develop their understanding of these musical elements.

This unit builds on pupils’ understanding of high and low pitch as they learn to identify high and low sounds in the songs they sing. Their sense of pulse will continue to be practised and developed through movement activities and singing games and they will begin to distinguish between long and short durations of sound, recognising different rhythmic patterns and laying the foundation for more advanced musical skills.
