Testimonials
"It is pre-prepared for the teacher and the aims and the outcomes are very specific. So less written more achieved, I'm all for that!"
"The programme lends itself to integration with the other subject areas. In Maths we made a graph of people's favourite instruments; in Arts and Craft we created percussion instruments; in Social Studies we were listening to the birds outside the window here - it was beautiful; and during PE we were able to increase or decrease our pulse count etc. So, very, very well worthwhile."
Sample Pages
Fun with the Melody
Encourage exploration through pair, peer, and team games.
Finding one's voice can take time and a relaxed approach that offers opportunities for feedback through self-observation can take the 'judgment' out of learning.
Feeling a Steady Pulse
Nothing like a bit of practice to master essential skills!
The musical pulse is one of the fundamentals of good musicianship and this activity offers an opportunity to connect movement with unfamiliar music.
Find the Musical Pulse
Once again, ignite curiosity about the music to be heard by prompting learners to think about what the title and cover image might suggest about the composition.
Learners may instinctively 'find the musical pulse' in this music, however, there are 'helping sounds' embedded in the audio track as pointers. Enjoy expressing the pulse creatively!
