Term 5: Swing Along with ShostakovichÂ
They will explore how beats are grouped and will devise their own body percussion patterns to demonstrate this. They will begin to identify different metres in familiar songs. Finally, the children will be invited to move freely and creatively to two pieces from Shostakovich’s Jazz suites, each in a different metre, using scarves, ribbons, cloths, or even old socks! This unit offers an excellent next step for pupils who have already established a strong sense of beat.  Â
Term 6: Charlie ChaplinÂ
In this unit, we will use a film by Charlie Chaplin to help us understand different musical elements.Â
