Term Autumn 1 Autumn 2 Spring 1 Spring 2 Summer 1

Summer 2

Theme/Project/Topic- Taken from LTPs Wider Opps – Djembe

Introduction to handling the instrument to make a resonant sound. The several different techniques for making a sound (palm, fingers, placement on skin). Use of techniques to create loud (forte), soft (piano) and increasing and diminishing sounds (crescendo and diminuendo). Controlling tempo (fast, slower). Learning to perform a call and response performance (unison performance, 2-part performance). Understanding notation of rhythm; minim, crotchet, quaver. Reading and recording these. Listening to music; identifying instruments by their characteristics (wind, brass, string, percussion, reed etc). Perform at Christmas. Singing as part of warm up activities and to develop rhythmic skills.

Developing performance skills – solo, small group (trio, quartets) and whole class performances. Using call and response techniques to compose simple call and response rhythm patterns. Beginning to link the separate skills learned together to create a bigger piece. Introduce idea of ostinato and varying rhythms. Listening to music: Listen to a range of lyrical songs (Italian, other countries); developing skills to find the pulse, play along and develop rhythms. Perform in assembly. Singing as part of warm up activities and to develop rhythmic skills.

Developing performance skills: blending in other untuned percussion to create a range of timbral effects. Composition linked to creating pieces, notating down using standard notation. Addition of additional instruments into performance. Performance in assembly: Big Drum performance Singing as part of warm up activities and to develop rhythmic skills.

Target Tracker Statements covered

Confidently recognise a range of musical instruments and the different sounds they make Confidently recognise and explore a range of musical styles and traditions and know their basic style indicators Use musical language to appraise a piece or style of music Copy increasingly challenging rhythms using body percussion and untuned instruments where appropriate Sing as part of an ensemble with confidence and precision Play and perform in solo or ensemble contexts with increasing confidence Develop an understanding of formal, written notation which includes minims and quavers Listen to and recall sounds with increasing aural memory
