Hi, I wrote this lesson for an interview. The purpose being to enthuse students in singing and to perform ‘These Days’ by Rudimental. It contains a lesson plan, a WAGOLL (What a good one looks like) video, a backing track and the presentation. The lesson takes into context many key words that could be learnt whilst also learning to sing a piece of music. You could print out some of the slides for students to read the lyrics and also to check their pitching on an instrument. The interview was a 25 minute lesson, but it could be stretched out to ensure students perform with fluency. Please leave a review if you purchase. Your feedback is very important to me!
