Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can sing in unison, working to create a balanced and united choral sound.
Key learning points
- Warming up together is a form of social bonding as well as protecting our voice and developing our choral skills.
- Social bonding is about making positive connections with others and can be achieved through singing in unison together.
- Listening carefully to those singing around us as we sing can help us create a blended and balanced choral sound.

Choral - an adjective relating to music written for or performed by a choir
Balance - how each part is matched against another to ensure that no one part overwhelms the others
Common misconception
Singing has to be rehearsed and performed in order to be successful.
Singing is one of the most powerful tools we can use socially to create bonds between people. This is very often unrehearsed; particularly in sports arenas such as football stadiums.
Teacher tip
Encourage pupils to sing quietly, to create a blended choral sound.
