Learning objective
- To improvise in a Calypso style using a pentatonic scale
National curriculum
Pupils should be taught to:
- Play and perform in solo and ensemble contexts, using their voices and playing musical instruments with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression
- Listen with attention to detail and recall sounds with increasing aural memory
- Use and understand staff (and other) notations
- Improvise and compose music for a range of purposes using the interrelated dimensions of music
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: These pupils can play the pentatonic scale in order rather than mixing the notes up.
Pupils working at greater depth: Challenge these pupils to use notes of different lengths to vary their improvisations. They could also extend their improvisations over the whole freestyle section.
