Why this why now

Building on performance skills from prior units, pupils are encouraged to draw together their singing skills of accurate intonation, their ability to hold a second part and their understanding of how the lyrics should be delivered to achieve an effective performance. They have also learnt vocal techniques that allow them to look after and warm up their voice effectively. Pupils will utilise this and prior learning of the use of musical elements such as tempo and dynamics to create an effective performance.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Pupils understand the importance of warming up the voice for good vocal health.
  • Pupils have had the opportunity to perform a range of unison and part songs of different genres.
  • Pupils have sung songs for a variety of purposes and audiences.
  • Pupils understand the impact of varying different aspects of a performance such as dynamics or tempo.
  • Pupils have experienced singing in different languages and different styles of song.
  • Pupils have a strong sense of pulse and can sing selected songs with good intonation.
  • Pupils understand how adding layers of song creates a thicker texture.
