Trad song. The happy wanderer. Half a term's work.

With this traditional song resource you can choose what to teach and what you feel comfortable with so it suits both non specialist and those a bit more adventurous . In some cases you can give the melody line to a child who is taking music lessons to extend them . If you would like to add accompaniments, the children can hear where they come in the video/recordings and copy them. The history of the song and brass bands are introduced. A YouTube link is provided but if you are not allowed to use you-tube, I have put an audio clip there.. I've also added some little creative ideas in the teaching aide. Children using these resources will be able to 1. Look at the notation/letter names and play simple notes on the chime bars/xylophone to accompany the song “The Happy wanderer” Extension - More able children can play melody line 2. Trace the tunes popularity from a small German choirs rendition , a hit in the 50s, to becoming popular in the Scout’s jamborees’ 3. Recognize brass band music and note that it is played all over the world. The band Playing here is from Hong Kong and the UK. 4. Learn to sing the song and copy short audio snippets. 5. Use their "ear" and try simple improvisation.

"Welcome to Shrek's fairyland" Upbeat song about the characters in the Swamp

(0)
This song with a hip hop beat welcomes you to Shrek’s home in the swamp. Living there are many folk from famous fairy stories. There is an opportunity, if you have a set of chime bars (from C to C’) to play them in descending order. If not, simply move your hands from an upright position to your side or on the floor. The idea is to feel the descent of the pitch from high to low. My children enjoyed adding movement to the song. It makes a good “party piece” for an assembly on fairy stories. Included in the resource 1. PPT lyrics music. 2. Lyrics 3. Backing track mp3 4. vocal track mp3 5. Video of the song Covers singing, playing an instrument, pitch, responding to music,

(0)
This is a story on video or PowerPoint and video about a spider who wanted his own song. He listened to all the other mini beasts singing and desperately wanted his own song . The idea is to "hook" the children into making their own songs. There is a teacher's guide showing what learning objectives might be encountered. After the story, there is a follow up song using all the creature's individual songs from the story. e.g. high/low/fast/slow/voice expression etc. The story can also be used in Assembly/PHSE as an in road to "finding your voice" it would be a good starter for writing too. Included in the resource is a video PPT mp3 teachers notes

The song used the words, shark, shore, and shell. It is to reinforce the digraph you have taught in the day or to introduce it. Musically, the song has short musical interludes.
