  • Developing our singing voice

Description

This unit helps pupils to discover the difference between their speaking, or chanting, and singing voice. Through a diverse range of echo and call and response songs pupils will begin to pitch match songs that use an age appropriate small range of notes.

This is the first unit of the primary music curriculum and pupils will have very different musical starting points. In this unit, attention is drawn to the difference in our voices when we speak and sing. The chosen songs and chants are short and can be learnt quickly. With a narrow range of notes, pupils can listen carefully and begin to pitch match songs more accurately. The echo and call and response structures studied will be built upon in later 'Compose and Create' units.
