Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can tell stories and show feelings through my singing.
Key learning points
- Music is a form of storytelling. We can tell the story by singing with character and feeling.
- We can sing with character and feeling by thinking about the use of dynamics, tempo, facial expressions and actions.
- We rehearse before a performance to make sure we know the songs well.
- When we perform to an audience we should try and sing with character and feeling, and carry on if we make a mistake.
Keywords
Performance - preseting our work in front of others
Rehearse - to practise in order to improve and prepare for performance
Dynamics - how loudly or quietly the music is played or sung
Tempo - how fast or slow the music is played
Practise - to play or sing something several times to try and get better
Common misconception
If we make a mistake in a performance we should start again.
When performing in front of an audience it's best to carry on if we make a mistake. Most of the time the audience won't notice.
Teacher tip
Pupils could take it in turns to perform to each other, or perhaps perform to other teachers, or another class.
