The aim of this topic is to give children the opportunity to learn about the music of Mexico through listening and singing. The children will: Listen to a variety of music styles and genres from Mexico. Learn about the instruments used in the popular Mariachi bands. Listen to some music from the Maya Civilisation. Learn to sing the song Al Citron and play the stone passing game associated with it. This a a short topic that can be stretched to 6 weeks or done in 3, depending on the amount of time dedicated to your music lessons.

This is a collection of 10 Body Percussion songs. All of these songs focus on different Body Percussion rhythms to accompany them. Every song is designed to reinforce pitch, pulse and rhythm (either consciously or unconsciously) and will help with a range of social skills (turn taking, working with a partner or group etc). The songs are all in an appropriate range for children. Most use a maximum of a 6-note range with some stretching to an octave. These songs are more demanding than the other Active singing songs because of the Body Percussion rhythms so are more suitable for KS2. These songs have also been designed to fit perfectly within the Kodaly methodology if teachers are using it (using common ta and ti-ti rhythms and incorporating familiar melody lines - so-mi / mi-so-la).
