About this unit

This unit highlights the musical skills that require regular practice and ongoing development throughout the key stage. It focuses on the development of the singing voice and other essential musical skills, eg listening skills, aural memory and physical skills, which should be a regular part of classroom work week-by-week. All the activities in this unit are designed so that they can be taught in short periods when opportunities arise.

The unit is designed to be used flexibly throughout the key stage. The material given in this unit can be used in any order. The 'Points to note' column includes suggestions about how the activities could be extended when the material is revisited.

Repertoire
