As part of our mission to celebrate diversity and promote equality we have produced our first learning resource in celebration of Black History Month. ‘Black Sailors and Sea Shanties’ introduces learners to sea shanties and explores the influence of black sailors on shanties. The resource provides arrangements of three shanties with extended learning activities, and is aimed at Key Stage 3 (age 11 and above). The pack also provides useful background information and discussion points to explore the meanings and interpretations of the songs. Audio recordings are free to download and include: instrumentals, vocals, high parts, low parts, middle parts, percussion and full songs. Please feel free to provide feedback on this resource - including the music - and let us know if you have found it useful.
