Music
Students need an environment that includes a variety of sound sources, selected recorded music, opportunities for improvised singing and the building of a repertoire of songs. An exploratory approach, using a wide range of appropriate materials, provides a rich base from which conceptual understanding can evolve.
Aims:
- to encourage music-making as a joyful experience
- to develop group singing in unison
- to develop a sense of steady beat in music
- to encourage creative response through sounds and movement
- to encourage social skills (sharing, taking turns)
- to develop motor co-ordination
- to develop vocal co-ordination and motor co-ordination simultaneously
- to experiment with a variety of instruments and other sound sources
Course
Each student will have the opportunity to:
- sing a variety of songs, including nursery rhymes, songs with movements, musical games, seasonal songs, counting songs, songs from Letterland
- play musical games
- create and perform movements to songs and pieces
- maintain a steady beat with body movements and percussion instruments while singing or listening to music
- respond to music with movements such as: walking, running, galloping, hopping, skipping, jumping
- explore, sort, select and recognise sounds
- explore the concept of high/low, fast/slow in songs and pieces
- recognise and perform rhythmic patterns in songs and pieces
