3 MUSIC SCOOL Upper Key Stage 2 This Scheme of Work is designed to cover all areas of the National Curriculum Music programmes of study Because of the practicalities of having a visiting teacher delivering Music, the use of ICT may be limited and this is an area that the school should follow up in more depth through the practice session and also through cross curricular projects. It is designed to be either part of a larger scheme which runs from Nursery to Year 6 or to be free standing as a programme for Years 5 and 6 The National Curriculum states that, Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. A high-quality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians. This scheme puts enjoyment in practical music making, through singing and instrumental playing, at its heart contributing to the development of self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. and.responsible citizens. Fundamental to this scheme in Year 3 is a teaching collaboration between the class teacher and the BMS tutor. In Years 4,5 and 6 schools may opt to end this collaboration but it should be noted that evidence from previous years indicates that the children do not progress as quickly or achieve as much without the active support of the class teacher in the music sessions. Why learn to play an instrument? Investing in music can have a major impact on the school as a whole. Broader outcomes - such as improved concentration, self esteem and team-working skills can result from children learning musical instruments. Recent research by Sing Up has shown that effective arts work can make a real difference to everything from behaviour and attendance to attainment across the curriculum. (visit Sing Up at In Music scool all children are given the opportunity to learn to play an instrument and the class teacher learns along with the children. It is a way of encouraging and developing the teaching skills of class teachers in primary music activities. Whilst you can teach many aspects of the Primary Music curriculum without instrumental skills, having them has been shown to be the single most influential factor in ensuring children s musical progression and fulfilment. Taking part in large-scale musical events and festivals, both at local and national level, can raise the profile of a school. Links to other curriculum areas: The recent review document A Framework for the National Curriculum states that there is now substantial evidence that a good art and music education benefits individuals, their communities and the nation as a whole..for example,.. (showing) benefits to pupil engagement, cognitive development and achievement, including in mathematics and reading. History & Geography: The songs & tunes used in the Programme include traditional folk songs from many different parts of the world. These songs often deal with a historical or topical theme relevant to their origin. Literacy: Songs and tunes are often learnt by heart in this programme, and tutors will always explain the ideas, meanings and stories behind the text of the songs. Each term s scheme has a list of key vocabulary which includes specific musical terms, but also many general English adjectives and concepts. Citizenship: Many of the songs carry a positive theme related to working together, being part of a community & appreciating the beauty of the world and the child s place in the world. Christian and other religious material is available for use in faith based schools. Foreign Languages: There is an opportunity to sing songs that have simple text in a foreign language. Examples could include: Che Che Koolay (Ghanaian), Au Clair De La Lune (French), Schlaf, Kindlein Schlaf (German), 3

4 MUSIC SCOOL Upper KS 2 in Schools Partnership programme What BMS Tutors will provide 33 structured lessons each academic year based on the National Curriculum, each lasting at least 30 minutes. Materials to assist the class teacher in running a practice session. A set of djembe drums and/or a set of bamboo-tamboo for as long as the school remains on the programme. (These instruments are the property of Brent Music Service). Each class will take part in a performance to parents demonstrating their new skills. Copies of individual assessments will be given to the class teacher, which will indicate the Gifted and Talented children in the class. A list of Gifted and Talented children will be given to the Head Teacher. The tutors will help the class teacher to do continuous assessment. A generic report statement, using the guidelines set by the BMS Advisory Board, which the class teacher may then add to. What is expected of the school ALL class teachers must meet formally with the tutor BEFORE the programme can commence. The BMS tutor will need copies of class lists and other relevant school documents BEFORE the first lesson. The lesson should take place in a suitable large space NOT the classroom - with access to the drums/bamboo-tamboo, whiteboard/smart board and CD player. Class teachers MUST remain with their class at all times and are expected to take an active part in the lesson. Class teachers must do a practice session (approx 20 minutes) every week as a follow up to the lesson delivered by the BMS tutor. The class teacher will assist in the concert/assembly The class teacher is responsible for the music report at the end of the year. Music co-ordinators must show the teacher s booklet to supply teachers make them aware of their obligations. If any other activity is arranged by the school on a day when the tutor would normally teach Music scool then this lesson WILL NOT be made up. Each school should have the opportunity in Years 3,4,5 and 6 for children to learn a musical instrument outside of the classroom. 4

5 MUSIC SCOOL Upper KS 2 The Practice Session The aim of the practice session is for the children and the class teacher to go over any specific skills covered in the previous lesson. This session should be on a different day from the lesson and should last for minutes. This session is lead by the class teacher and gives the children and the teacher a chance to develop, practise and explore at their own rate. Children who do take part in a regular practice session progress at a much faster rate than those who do not. At the end of a lesson the tutor will give the class teacher concrete objectives and tasks for such a session, but how the session is conducted is up to the individual to decide. You may however like to use the following guidelines. Think about where the session will take place this usually works best if it is in the same setting as the original lesson. When the children are settled use the same warm up activity that the tutor used in the lesson Remind the children of the objectives of the session and the main points of the previous lesson, by demonstration if possible. (This could be an able child) Don t worry if you lack expertise. Explain to the children that you are learning alongside them and that they can help you as well. If appropriate, try practising in pairs or groups as well as a whole class. Towards the end conduct a quick plenary to see who has achieved all of the objectives. Report back to the tutor next week and they will use this information to review their setting of objectives. Add in your own songs and activities that meet the objectives. Listening activities and group work Listening is an important part of any lesson and listening skills will be developed considerably by using the activities introduced through Music scool. There is scope for the classroom teacher to do more detailed listening activities in the practise session using their own resources so that different concepts and styles will made clearer to the students, investigating a wider approach to a topic. Large and small group work will be introduced to the students from the beginning of the course to encourage independent learning. Classroom teachers will be supervising groups, along with the BMS tutor, helping the students to gradually learn to develop and refine their own musical ideas. 5

6 MUSIC SCOOL Upper KS 2 PPA OPTION What BMS Tutors will provide 33 structured lessons each academic year based on the National Curriculum, each lasting at least 40 minutes. A set of djembe drums and/or bamboo- tamboo for as long as the school remains on the programme. These instruments remain the property Brent Music Service. An item for inclusion in a class assembly or Music concert if requested. Please note that the tutor may not be able to be there in person because of other commitments. Items that fit in with class topics provided that the tutor knows of these topics well in advance. A list of Gifted and Talented children will be given to the Head Teacher. A generic report statement, using the guidelines set by the BMS Advisory Board, which the class teacher may then add to. What is expected of the school ALL class teachers must meet formally with the tutor BEFORE the programme can commence. This is the ideal time to give a list of topics that are planned for the year. The BMS tutor will need copies of class lists and other relevant school documents before the first lesson. Class teachers must escort their class to and from the lesson at the agreed times. The lesson should take place in a suitable large space NOT the classroom - with access to the drums/bamboo-tamboo, whiteboard/smart board and CD player. Reports will be put in a central place for the school to distribute. If any other activity is arranged by the school on a day when the tutor would normally teach Music scool then this lesson WILL NOT be made up. Music co-ordinators must show the teacher s booklet to supply teachers make them aware of their obligations Each school should have the opportunity in Years 3,4,5 and 6 for children to learn a musical instrument outside of the classroom. It is important to note that classes on the PPA programme will not progress as quickly as those on the Partnership Programme. 6

13 Term 3 Year 6 (Preparing a performance) It is envisaged that this term will be disrupted by preparation and examinations for SATs. Schools will be able to negotiate on an individual basis with tutors to ensure that the children receive the best possible benefit from the programme. Please note that lessons cancelled by the school because of SATs will not be made up at the end of term. The content of this term will also depend upon the class teacher and the BMS tutor and the main aim is for every class to produce one or two complete performances (along with some smaller group performances) taken from any of the disciplines studied in the last FOUR* years i.e. recorder playing, other instrumental playing (classroom and orchestral), body percussion and beat box, African drumming, samba; ALL projects will involve singing. As such the aims for this term are presented in a generic way and relate more to performance and ensemble skills rather than specific techniques. By the end of the term most children should be able to: Take part in a large scale performance with confidence Hold an instrumental / vocal line accurately in a large scale performance Follow conventional signals (visual or aural) in a performance Improve their own work with help, through analysis, evaluation and comparison Rehearse with others in a constructive way Understand a little of how musical styles have developed over time in terms of texture, structure and harmony More able children will have progressed further and will be able to: Lead a section within a large scale ensemble Take a solo part in an ensemble Rehearse and direct a small scale group (such as a string quartet or recorder group) Improve their own work, without the aid of a teacher, through analysis, evaluation) and comparison Show an awareness that musical styles have developed over time and verbalise some ideas unprompted Some children will not have progressed so far and will be able to: Maintain a simpler part in a large scale ensemble, possibly in a section with more advanced pupils leading to give confidence Follow most conventional signals with help Improve work by following the directions of either peers or teachers Comment on texture, structure and harmony by answering simple related questions Assessment: by outcome (performance) and by continual assessment Performance opportunities: participation in a performance to parents and peers (this does not have to take place at the end of the Summer Term, indeed many schools may prefer to have it earlier in the year because of other commitments); leavers assemblies; productions; participation in a large scale BMS festival. Key Vocabulary Conductor; rehearse; direct; references to notation as required; vocabulary relevant to the discipline chosen for performance e.g. break Samba; tone, slap African drumming etc. *In some schools where Music scool runs from Nursery to Year 6, this will be the culmination of eight years of study. 13

18 MUSIC SCOOL Upper KS2 Report statement Because of the fluid nature of the Year 5 and Year 6 courses some parts of these statements will need to be deleted to reflect the options chosen by the Tutor for individual schools. In Music, Year 5 has been following the MUSIC SCOOL programme led by Brent Music Service Staff... (name) has been working on performing and composing complex rhythms through the study of music from different parts of the world. He/she has created musical patterns using body percussion and sticks; performed basic bamboo-tamboo patterns; learnt basic djembe skills; sang a variety of African songs and created an arrangement of a song using a variety of percussion instruments; incorporated dance movements into African songs; In Music, Year 6 has been following the MUSIC SCOOL programme led by Brent Music Service Staff... (name) has been working on performing and composing complex rhythms through the study of music from different parts of the world. He/she has performed basic samba patterns; composed samba patterns; sung Brazilian songs; used his/her voice to create basic beat box patterns and composed a rap. The culmination of the study for this year has been a performance that reflects the four* years that students have spent on the Music scool programme. *The Music scool programme can start in Nursery and in some schools the performance will reflect skills learnt over the past eight years. An individual statement should be added by the class teacher for those children who have achieved excellent results. All of those children who play an instrument or who take part in extra-curricular activities should have an additional statement e.g. Daniel has a strong sense of rhythm and works well within a group, often leading activities and tasks. Nyshaal has a very strong sense of rhythm and has taken part in some excellent performances in class, both in a group and as a soloist on his violin. Reanna leads groups well and has an excellent sense of rhythm. She is also a confident performer and has played a piano solo to the class. Sarah is a strong and dependable leader vocally and I hope that she will consider joining the school choir next year where she will be a great asset. Corey has made excellent progress with rhythmic work this year and was selected to represent the class in the Brent Makes Music concert. He has the potential to do very well and could continue his development by starting lessons on an instrument next year. Bhaavik has joined in every activity enthusiastically and I hope that he will continue to enjoy his musical studies at secondary school next year. 18

21 MUSIC SCOOL Upper KS 2 Information for supply staff What is MUSIC SCOOL? A scheme of Music from Nursery to Year 6 provided by Brent Music Service. This programme involves the delivery of the National Curriculum for Music through singing and playing both the recorder and a wide range of percussion instruments from around the world. What does the BMS tutor do? Present a lesson of at least 30 minutes to the class at a fixed time each week (the length may vary slightly according to the timetable constraints of each individual school) the music co-ordinator will be able to give exact details of the time. Provide details for the class teacher of what to do in the practice session* What is expected of the supply teacher? Please make sure that the children are ready to start their lesson on time this may mean moving to another area of the school. FOR SCHOOLS ON THE PARTNERSHIP OPTION You MUST stay in the room during the lesson this scheme relies on a partnership. You are responsible for the safety, welfare and discipline of the children at all times. Please participate in all parts of the lesson (the class should have spare recorders and there are also spare ukuleles). The BMS tutor will not ask you to sing or play individually. If you are on long-term supply you will need to do a short practice session (of about 20 minutes) at another time in the week. This involves re-visiting the material that the tutor presented in the lesson and could be lead by an able child. The tutor will give you materials to support this, which must be left for the classroom teacher if their return is imminent. FOR SCHOOLS ON THE PPA OPTION Please make sure that you return to the class at the agreed time as the tutor is on a very tight schedule and cannot be late to their next lesson, which may be in a different school. It is your responsibility to escort the children back to their classroom from the lesson area, if this is applicable. * Does not apply to those schools on the PPA option. 21
