KS1 Music BUNDLE

This download will provide you with: - A KS1 music planning unit - composition - A composing knowledge organiser - A music progression of skills tracker The unit begins on developing children’s body percussion knowledge and then progresses into children composing 2 or 3 note melodies. The children will be challenged to begin to make connections between notations and musical sounds. This is a lesson resources I have used within KS1 in England. It can be easily adapted to EYFS. Skills met: YEAR ONE: • Improvise simple vocal chants, using question and answer phrases. • Create musical sound effects and short sequences in response to stimuli. • Understand the difference between creating a rhythm pattern and a pitch pattern. • Invent, retain and recall rhythm and pitch patterns and perform these for others. • Recognise how graphic notation can represent created sound. • Explore and invent own symbols • Listen to sounds in the local school environment, comparing high and low sounds. • Sing familiar songs in both low and high voices and talk about the difference in sound. • Explore percussion sounds to enhance storytelling. • Follow pictures and symbols to guide singing and playing. YEAR TWO: • Create music in response to a non-musical stimulus (e.g., a storm, a car race, or a rocket launch). • Work with a partner to improvise simple question and answer phrases, to be sung and played on untuned percussion, creating a musical conversation. • Use graphic symbols, dot notation and stick notation, as appropriate, to keep a record of composed pieces. • Use music technology, if available, to capture, change and combine sounds.
