Su 1 | Singing and Playing Skills 2: Follow the Leader

Year 2 culminates with a focus on further developing singing and playing skills, with an emphasis on following a leader during the summer term. This unit aligns with the curriculum’s goal of nurturing vocal and instrumental abilities. Pupils continue to refine their pitch-matching and instrumental skills, preparing them to engage in collaborative music-making in thef upcoming year. This unit builds on their knowledge of rhythm and pitch, encouraging them to become more confident musicians.
