Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can control my loud singing voice and my soft singing voice.
Key learning points
- Warming up our voice helps us to sing safely.
- Singing loudly doesn't mean shouting.
- We can use many different dynamics when we sing.
- Different songs can suit different dynamics.
Keywords
Dynamics - how loudly or quietly the music is played or sung
Singing - creating musical sounds with our voice that can be a mixture of high sounds and low sounds
Song - music with words
Common misconception
We need to sing loudly for it to be heard or for it to be 'good'.
Learning to sing using a range of dynamics is a key aspect of conveying the mood of a song. Pupils can explore what quality singing feels like, and the effect it can have, using a range of dynamics to suit the song.
Teacher tip
This unit is an ideal opportunity for pupils to bring in songs they sing at home. This may be in a language spoken at home, a song for a particular time of day, like bedtime, or songs they might sing on a car journey for example.
