Some enthusiasm for words, poems, music and songs is preferable. Children will create an underscore and sound effects for a scene using percussion instruments. Using pre-recorded backing tracks, children will contribute to the composition of words and melodies of a song based on one of the themes and scenes of Macbeth in small groups and as a whole class. The children will explore the need for lyric-writing devices such as rhyme, meter, alliteration and assonance whilst building a basic understanding of song structure, melody and harmony, the rhythm and sound of the words, and the use of metaphor. As individual vocalists, small or whole groups, children will record their song using the microphone.
